Danny shares some yarns of the lifetime friends he met working in the Belfast docks.

Praising the authentic setting, Corinne commented: “It has the look and feel of an old bar and being rural doesn’t open day times during the week. The owner Tony was so accommodating and made filming there a pleasure.”
