Eamonn Ceannt sitting with a set of "uileann pipes" is today's offering. Eamonn Ceannt was of course one of the executed leaders of the 1916 Rising and apparently an exponent of that strange instrument the "elbow" pipes. This was a lot safer than yesterdays image which left Morning Mary with egg all over her face - seeing a hunt where there was none! Sorry :-)..As well as linking a number of examples of the unique sound of the uileann pipes ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq3m_R3Lnu4&t=3s ) , our ever-dutiful contributors have confirmed that Éamonn Ceannt ( %c3%89amonn_Ceannt ) , together with Edward Martyn ( Edward_Martyn ) founded 'Cumann na bPíobairí' (the Pipers Club) in 1900. We have other materials in the catalogue relating to Ceannt and this organization ( vtls000581455/HierarchyTree ) from the period. Similar and related clubs are keeping the instrument relevant today.......Photographers: Arnall..Collection: Irish Political Figures Photographic Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000510030 ) ..Date: c.1906..NLI Ref: NPA POLF8 ( vtls000642032 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
