BELFAST - the Black Velvet Band II

Belfast — The Black Velvet Band II

(Shipyard Edition)

Stephen Farnan’s second Belfast piece brings the city’s shipyard to the forefront — the towering Harland & Wolff cranes rising across the artwork like sentinels of memory and industry. Drawn in Stephen’s bold, energetic line, the slipways, docklands, and working skyline capture the heartbeat of a city built on steel, labour, and the stories of its people.
Across this industrial landscape, his handwritten lyrics from The Black Velvet Band weave through the scene like a familiar voice carried on the wind — lively, mischievous, and steeped in Belfast humour and folklore.
Finished in tones that echo the grit and glow of the shipyard, the piece becomes a striking tribute to a city defined by resilience, craftsmanship, and the songs that rise from its streets and yards.
