“The Face Of Guinness” with Terry Loughins

 

Terry Loughins has had a lot of jobs including: salesman, milkman, barman and DJ.

But his favourite job was his 25-years working for Guinness NI, a role which led to him being involved in oyster festivals, U2 Concerts, golfing tournaments and farmer matchmaking events…

In today’s episode, Matt and Jawbox Gerry sit down with Terry to talk about:

  • The best pint of Guinness he’s ever had

  • Playing Ice Hockey in the 60s

  • How hospitality prepared him to take on the world

  • Growing up in “the countryside” of Stockmans Lane, East Belfast

  • Old pubs around Belfast

  • The “Miracle Escape” that saved his life

  • And the double decker bus hanging off the end of a magnet up the top of a massive crane (no really…)

We had an absolute blast with Terry, Gerry, Producer Rosca… and know you will too.

Enjoy!
