Na P�obair� Uilleann (NPU), the Society of Uilleann Pipers, was founded in 1968 at grassroots level by pipers with the aim of protecting a threatened art form. Now, forty-four years later, NPU is a thriving arts organisation with thousands of members, dedicated to servicing the aims and needs of uilleann pipers worldwide.

It is the ambition of NPU to establish the music of the uilleann pipes as a major art form around the world in the 21st century. Since unveiling its restored Georgian premises at 15 Henrietta Street, Dublin in January 2007, NPU has been busy catering for the expanding demand for regular tuition as well as releasing a number of significant publications and recordings. With demand for pipes considerably exceeding supply, a dedicated Training Centre - PIPECRAFT - has been established to deliver training in the very highly skilled craft of uilleann pipemaking. NPU's commitment to tuition, both on a weekly basis at its premises and internationally, continues to grow, along with its public performance programme.

NPU also maintains a significant online presence. SOURCE, our web-based piping and traditional music resource, makes available our accumulated training, tutorial and archive materials to lovers of Irish music around the world.

Na P�obair� Uilleann's primary funding agencies include The Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht, The Arts Council/An Comhairle Eala�onn and Dublin City Council.
