A Celebration of Father Ted
2022-09-17 19:30 - 21:30 (Europe/London) | The Deco, The Deco, Abington Square, Northampton NN1 4AE
Join us in celebrating one of the greatest sitcoms ever made, as we welcome renowned stand-up Joe Rooney for a night of all things Father Ted!
Joe featured as the rebellious Father Damo in the classic Father Ted episode The Old Grey Whistle Theft, leading Dougal astray with his earring, cigarette smoking and bad-boy attitude.
Joe will host a screening of the episode, take you behind the scenes and set you a Craggy Island quiz – then prepare yourself for an all-inclusive ‘Lovely Girls Competition’: have you got the loveliest laugh, the loveliest walk, and can you make the loveliest sandwich?
There will also be priests aplenty, plus appearances from a nursery-rhyme singing Ziggy Stardust, Nirvana, Johnny Cash and many more – and the evening wouldn’t be complete without a sing-along to ‘My Lovely Horse’!
Come and meet Joe and immerse yourself in the very silly delights of Father Ted.

THEIR UNIQUE STYLE WHICH COMBINES FIRST-RATE MUSICIANSHIP AND INTRICATE VOCAL ACROBATICS CREATES A LARGER-THAN-LIFE STAGE SHOW WHERE THE HUMOUR THEY INJECT INTO THEIR LIVE PERFORMANCE PLAYS A LARGE PART IN THEIR APPEAL. WHILST THEY APPEAR NOT TO TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY, IT IS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE WHO SEES THEM THAT THEY ARE ALL EXTREMELY CAPABLE AND TALENTED MUSICIANS.
AFTER LYING DORMANT FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS DARTS EVENTUALLY SUCCUMBED TO THE CAJOLING OF THEIR EVER-FAITHFUL, HARD-CORE FAN BASE WHO WERE CONSTANTLY DEMANDING THEY REFORM. THE BAND EVENTUALLY TOOK THE PLUNGE, AGREEING TO ‘TEST THE WATER’ AND DID A FEW ONE-OFF GIGS WITH MOST OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS. SUCH A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL THAT THEY DECIDED TO CARRY ON IN THIS VEIN BUT WITH THE FULL LINE-UP AND THEY CONTINUE TO PLAY A FEW SELECTED GIGS ANNUALLY. IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THEM, AND YOU MANAGE TO AVOID ‘BIG DEN’ ON HIS RAMPAGES INTO THE AUDIENCE, YOU WILL BE GUARANTEED A GOOD TIME.
