Meteor is Bringing the Craic Back with a World Record Breaker in Leitrim!

i1O2 DJ FERGAL DARCY BREAKS WORLD RECORD AT THE 21ST ANNUAL CULCHIE FESTIVAL

Meteor is bringing the craic back this weekend at the 21st annual Culchie Festival taking place in Mohill Co. Leitrim. The weekend is full of wacky events celebrating all things culchie, from the first search for Super Gran, the battle for the coveted title of King of the Culchies, along with events such as the Culchie fashion show and Culchie Karaoke to name but a few.

The festival this year will no doubt make international news as i102 DJ Fergal Darcy successfully completed a world record challenge earlier today. He set a brand new world record in ‘Meteor’s the most underpants put on in one hour challenge’ by beating the previous world record of 144 pairs by a staggering 97 pairs, which was previously held by English man Lee Phillips. Fergal Darcy now holds the world record for the greatest amount of underpants put on in one hour, having put a phenomenal 241 pairs on in just 35 minutes, 45 seconds!

Commenting on the world record breaker, Fergal said ‘I had a major decision to make a 182 pairs and I decided to make the big push to smash the record and get over 200 pairs. It was tough work, but I got there in the end. It was certainly the best exercise I’ve had in ages. Putting on the final pair was absolutely brilliant, it’s such a phenomenal feeling to have achieved a world record breaker’.

The Culchie Festival is all part of Meteor’s Bringing The Craic Back Campaign. Meteor’s Head of PR Amanda Carroll said:“The Culchie Festival has been brilliant craic this weekend, we’ve seen the search for Super Gran, the battle for the King of The Culchies and Culchie Karaoke as well as host of other fantastic events.
