Buzz not begrudgery as Hayes returns to the homeland

When he moved to LA and made it big, hanging out with the likes of Robbie Williams, Mark Hayes expected a bit of begrudgery back home. But on his last visit to Cork, it was like a different city...

FORGIVE me Father, for I have sinned. It has been almost two years now since my last visit to Ireland. And you know what, a lot has changed.

At the start of 2012 I came back from LA to be the best man at my brother Darren’s wedding. I dominated the entire wedding with my amazing speech that included birdcalls and owl noises. Trust me. It was mighty. Since then I’ve been out of Ireland for work, mostly in LA but also around Europe, other parts of America, and the odd private island in the Caribbean. It’s been tough/unreal.
