#101: The Bottom Line - Agri Business, Irish Music Industry, Trucking & Carlow based Golf Business

This week on The Bottom Line on KCLR John was joined by Helen Carroll to discuss the Agri business sector, the impacts of another year without the public being able to attend the Ploughing Championship and as restrictions have been easing over the last number of months Helen discusses how things are hopefully getting back to normal. As concerts and live performance begin again after 18 months of closure John spoke with Niall Stokes, Editor of Irish Music Industry bible Hot Press about the industry and about how Hot Press, KCLR and 24 other radio stations around the country are teaming up for Irish Music Month. Brian Butler of Ormonde School of Motoring chatted to John about his business and the growing shortage of truck drivers which has already become a crisis in the UK and what are the impacts for Ireland. With the 43rd Ryder Cup teeing off on Friday, John caught up with Dean Klatt of Seed Golf to discuss how his Golf equipment business based in Carlow fared during lockdown, developing new ranges and crowdfunding.With thanks to O’Neill Foley, Produced by Deirdre Dromey.To contact the show, email: [email protected]
