County Monaghan, In The Town of Ballybay

County Monaghan — In the Town of Ballybay

Stephen Farnan’s Monaghan piece captures the lively wit and colourful storytelling of In the Town of Ballybay, a song celebrated for its humour, rhythm, and unmistakable character. Monaghan’s rolling drumlins, lakes, forests, and charming towns are drawn in Stephen’s distinctive line, offering a vibrant portrait of this spirited border county.
His handwritten lyrics skip across the landscape with the playful energy of the song itself — full of personality, quick turns, and the joyful exaggeration that makes the tune so beloved.
Finished in Monaghan’s proud county colours, the artwork becomes a cheerful tribute to a county rich in charm, music, and the kind of stories that grow taller each time they’re told.
