Anthony Ruby.

As a visual artist, Anthony Ruby is probably best known for his Pana Shuffle mural in Mutton Lane in Cork, which remains one of the most enduring legacies of the city’s tenure as European Capital of Culture. Ruby also works as an educator, teaching art at the North Mon, and he exhibits regularly in Dublin and London, where he completed his Masters at Wimbledon College of Art in 2009.

Ruby also has another life as a musician. Over the past four years, he has recorded a selection of his own songs and trad tunes, which he's about to release on his debut album, Blackwater Rising.
