This work, which was donated by the artist, is being sold in aid of the restoration of NPU’s headquarters in Henrietta Street,

Na Piobairi Uilleann (NPU), the association of Irish pipers, was founded in 1968 and has been based since 1979 at 15 Henrietta Street, in the

earliest Georgian-style street in Dublin. NPU services a world-wide membership of players of the ‘uilleann’ pipes, and has played a crucial

role in restoring the use of this uniquely Irish instrument to Irish life. The house we occupy was built in the 1740s, sub-divided in the 19th

century, and in the early 20th century the end-of-terrace half was demolished. We are now raising funds to re-build and occupy the missing

half of the house in order to have the space to expand our services to lovers of Irish music in Ireland and around the world.
