BELFAST - the Black Velvet Band III

Belfast — The Black Velvet Band

(H&W Edition)

Stephen Farnan’s H&W edition of The Black Velvet Band places Belfast’s most iconic landmarks — the mighty Harland & Wolff cranes — at the very centre of the story. Their bold yellow frames rise above the slipways in Stephen’s unmistakable line, capturing the power, pride, and history of a shipyard that shaped the city and its people.
Layered across this industrial skyline, his handwritten lyrics from The Black Velvet Band flow like a living memory — spirited, playful, and rooted in Belfast’s rich tradition of song and storytelling.
Finished in tones that echo steel, salt air, and the vivid punch of Samson and Goliath, this artwork stands as a striking tribute to a city whose humour, resilience, and craftsmanship are as enduring as the cranes themselves.
