4The financial support which enabled usto restore our house a couple of yearsago was accompanied by a requirementto spend a portion of the grant on an artworkunder the Per Cent For Art scheme. Justbefore Christmas we fulfilled our commit-ments under this scheme by taking deliveryof the sculpture pictured at right. It is the fig-ure of a piper – un-named but with obviousresemblances to Séamus Ennis – which wecommissioned from the Derry-born artistEamonn O’Doherty. Eamonn’s work is to beseen in several locations in Ireland, andincludes, in Dublin, the Anna Livia Fountain,the Tree of Gold and the James Connollymemorial. The picture below shows a painting whichwas recently bought by Na Píobairí Uilleann,after it had failed to sell at auction. It is a nine-teenth century oil painting, by an unknownartist. ~ Donations & acquisitions ~Na Píobairí Uilleann has reciprocal arrange-ments with several other piping and musicalbodies to exchange publications.
