“The regulars in the pub are Jimmy (Jimmy Chisholm), an old school mountain goat with a fag burn in his jumper and a glint of mischief in his bloodshot eyes, the wild and mysterious Bill (David Ireland), Bernie, (Kathryn Howden) a cheery, hard-working woman, who keeps the others on the straight and narrow, and Conor, (Kevin Mains) a handsome, easy-going young man who is more than a little bit naive.

“Their HQ is in the local pub, and the landlady is Jules (Sharon Rooney) – a formidable force of nature who’ll have you out on your ear at the first sign of trouble.”
