From the early days of his music with Stockton's Wing to his time training at Ballymaloe Cookery School, food and music have been parallel lines that have kept Mike Hanrahan on track his entire life.

Mike Hanrahan, cook and teacher, songwriter and musician, takes us back stage and into the kitchens of a bohemian, international and surprisingly foodie group of Irish household names, including Ronnie Drew, Finbar Furey, Maura O'Connell, Leslie Dowdall, Pat Shortt, Eleanor Shanley and Sharon Shannon.

Mike penned hit singles 'Beautiful Affair' and 'Walk Away' for Stockton's Wing, from which a world of touring and behind-the-scenes escapades began. With affectionate portraits of the legendary personalities he came to know along the way, Beautiful Affair rings with the sheer graft, dedication and serious sense of humour of a life well spent on stage - and in the kitchen.

Mike's time training with Ballymaloe's Darina Allen would see his hobby become a second career. Here, he shares favourite recipes from home, friends and professional kitchens across the country - from family recipes cooked on country hearths to vegetarian folk-club grub and tour-bus pressure-cooker stews. Beautiful Affair tells tales of the Irish music scene from the 1970s through to today, and wends its way through a lifelong love affair with Irish food.

'This is much more than my story. In Beautiful Affair I introduce you to my friends - who share memories, recipes and quite a few amusing anecdotes that add so much sparkle to my life.' - Mike Hanrahan

Comfortable cotton briefs
Color: Beige - Set 17, Size: Large
Very pleased with this underwear. Purchased a second pack of four. Fits well, very comfortable and gets softer after washing. Comfortable stretch in the waistband without being too tight. I have had several abdominal surgeries in my life, and my belly will never be flat. I am also elderly and appreciate the fabric being cotton.

W knows how to fit us biggies
Color: Black - Set 3, Size: 7X-Large
wirarpa is the only company that makes honest to goodness full coverage briefs...I have the boy short biker length ones and now these......They have a wonderful wide top of panty , no digging in because it's wide, always comfy Wirarpa knows that women who are large/ fat etc have bellies and these are as close as you will get to feeling like you wearing nice panties .....no dig into crotch where panties meet thigh...... no more hurt skin from sitting down , these don't dig in Pricey but I have wasted lots of money before searching. so I buy enough and have a good supply, you never know when prices will keep climbing Soft, no seams, wash in washer & hang on line/hangers to dry, never put in dryer Biker length ones I wear around the house when alone ................ Only complaint: not all styles in my 5X size, you miss out on other styles but these two : panties and long boxer are my staples....... a company that KNOWS how to make decent big woman undies should offer all styles
