The King of Ireland's Son in the United Arts Club


Many thanks to Laureate na nÓg, Siobhán Parkinson who gave a wonderful speech at last night's launch of the IGI exhibition at the United Arts Club.
And hats off again to Brian Gallagher for putting the whole show together.

This illustration from The King of Ireland's Son by Brendan Behan is one of the two paintings that I have in the exhibition.
It's nice to have a picture from this book in the show, as Behan spent quite a bit of time in the bar of the United Arts Club himself.

  1. Thanks for taking part PJ, a really nice mix of work in the show.
    Did not know that was a Behan story, I must read it.

    Siobhán's opening speech was great.
