Fergus Ahern
Fergus Ahern with glass in hand ‘waving goodbye’ as I took this photo in July 2010
Two years after it was formed, if memory serves me, the late Fergus Ahern became a member of Boyle Arts Committee. The inaugural festival was held in The Moylurg Inn and the second festival in Boyle Parochial School. Then and inspired by Fergus, King House became venue for an exhibition of works transforming what was a local arts festival into one that included works by nationally recognised artists. Through the years, Fergus, assisted by various committee members developed Boyle Arts Festival into one of national and international importance
