Magnus Barelegs Viking Festival 2008 - Auction

 

The Ultimate Viking Experience for the school or youth club of your choice and many more great items at Auction

The Magnus Barelegs Festival receives generous support from Down District Council, however, we still have to raise considerable funds to run the festival to professional standards and to keep expanding the festival. We do this in a number of ways, one of which is our auction.

The Auction will take place at the Dufferin Coaching Inn, Killyleagh on Saturday 20th September 2008 at 22:00. However, you can make a bid even if you can't be there!

This year due to the generosity of our sponsors we are able to offer the following auction items:

Original Oil Painting by Alan Quigley (R)

Lisburn artist Alan Quigley on leaving school trained as a picture framer and restorer, he moved to London and spent a short time at Hammer Studios training as a make-up artist. 

He returned to Northern Ireland and being an accomplished musician he played guitar with many of the top show bands in the late 60’s and early 70’s. 

He continued to paint and develop his style during these years but had no formal training.   It was not until a chance meeting with the late and renowned Irish artist, Dan O’Neill in Belfast that that he began to take art seriously.   Dan took him under his wing and imparted his vast knowledge to a very eager pupil and over the years he developed the style that Dan O’Neill taught him. 

Alan has achieved success in the North and South of Ireland where he is solely represented by the prestigious James Gallery in Dublin.

Commissions Include:  Chris Rea, Ian Botham, Jimmy White, Steve Davis,
Denis Taylor, Alex Higgins
