This giant mural depicts musicians performing the traditional Pana Shuffle, and is a vivid and colorful evocation of peace and community spirit. Intended to represent the essence of Cork, many of the characters depicted are based on real local people. The mural which runs the length of Mutton Lane was painted by local artist Anthony Ruby in 2004. www.anthonyruby.com/?page_id=42
Its provenance can be dated by the message painted into the colorful scene, which was intended as a commentary on world events at the time.
"This mural The Pana Shuffle was painted by me Anthony Ruby between June and December 2004. It is dedicated to everyone except George Bush"
