Rock up to Tedfest for a blast

IT BEGAN with a four-hour car ride, a ferry full of merry priests, nuns, bishops and hairy babies, and it got stranger from there.

Last weekend I attended Tedfest VIII, a four-day celebration of comedy-series, Father Ted.

Craggy Island, the fictional home of Fathers Ted, Dougal and Jack, was recreated perfectly on a very windy and rugged Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands.
