Bono Portrait raises 10,000 Euros for Christina Noble Foundation
By Kate A. McGrath


A short while ago Interference.com had the opportunity to interview artist Niall O'Loughlin. We are happy to bring you the following update:

Niall O?Loughlin's Bono portrait went for 10,000 Euros at a recent charity event held at Dublin Mansion House. The bidding war ended on the portrait after a mystery property millionaire outbid ex-Westlife star Bryan McFadden. Bryan and wife Kerry went home at the end of the night though with the painting anyway when the mystery bidder gave the portrait to them as a gift. Ali Hewson was on hand and joked she would never buy the painting ? I?m sick of looking at him the whole time.? You have to love her sense of humour.

Congratulations to Niall, and to the real winners of the night - the Christina Noble Foundation!

Who was the mystery bidder? that's an amazing gesture. I see Ali's wit is just as sharp as Bono's!

Thanks Kate!
