"The Jackel" Champions New Mural Illustrating Everything Thats "Pure Here" About Belfast

It is no secret that Belfast is one of my top ranked places in the world.  It is full of culture, the most friendly people you will ever meet and their is no better place for a bit of "craic".  So I am very happy to share that Belfast has a beautiful new artistic addition.  World famous boxer Carl "The Jackal" Frampton was back in his beloved home town at this week to unveil a brand new mural work of art on Hill St. 

The absolutely stunning art piece was created by Dean Kane from Visual Waste aka Belfast's answer to banksy as apart of HARPS "Pure Here" campaign which was been taking the local area by storm.  The art piece itself showcases some of Belfast most famous and iconic best bits such as The Balls on the Falls, The Big Fish, The Albert Clock, the H&W cranes as well as of course some local legendary characters/celebrities.  

Not forgetting of course a nod to the man of the moment himself who was more than happy to be apart of the whole thing.  Carl said “Everybody knows I love Belfast so to be involved with something that’s really positive in the heart of the town, it was a no-brainer for me. HARP’s ‘Pure Here’ is a lot of fun, a really upbeat campaign that’s celebrating lots of great things that are unique to Northern Ireland.”

Hill St of course is located in the ever so trendy Cathedral quarter which is a hot spot for locals and tourists alike.  The Cathedral Quarter mural is the first of its kind by HARP and Brand Manager Jeanette Levis said: “HARP is one of NI’s most-loved lagers and this is our way of celebrating all that is magical about Belfast – the unique sense of humour and the quirks that make it so special.”
