“The only thing better than an Irish wedding is an Irish
funeral.” Without struggles in life, there would be no stories
worth telling. Just as everyone has a unique fingerprint created
within certain parameters, everyone has a unique life story
created within certain parameters. Today we are going to look at
the lifestory of Shane McManus, covering the happiness and
struggles, the tragedy, the triumph, his great love and life
lessons. Shane would never brag about his accomplishments, which
is part of why we wanted to interview him.

When you think of army veterans, you think of an older and
potentially disabled man or you picture someone who looks like
they would kill you if you say the wrong thing. By all
appearances, Shane looks and talks like a normal healthy man when
you meet him. But, Shane is no ordinary man.

He was born in Strabane, Ireland. He has been the Senior
bartender at Soho House for 4 years now, and prior to that was
the general manager at two different companies while becoming a
sommelier. He spent six years working in the Irish Defence
Forces, being deployed to a variety of countries in Africa
including Chad where he worked as a marksman on deployments. He
plays a variety of musical instruments including guitar, drums
and trumpet and he sings.

Shane is going to talk to us about his boyhood in Ireland,
his experiences as a sommelier and bar manager, his favourite
drink, the meaning of music in his life, his time in the Irish
Defence Forces where he will tell us the the stories he is
legally allowed to share, alongside defence tips for women, and
finally tell us about working at Soho House and the story about
how he met the love of his life. Not to mention, is going to play
to songs for us as host Caitlin Arnould interviews him
in-depth.
