A street artist from Londonderry who helped kickstart a movement which has seen the city transition from its world-famous Troubles-related murals to those that reflect peace-time and cultural icons has unveiled his latest creation.

Karl Porter’s not-for-profit art organisation, UV Arts C.I.C., has applied the finishing touches to a new mural in honour of local music heroes The Undertones.
