In the area where Broadmead meets Cabot Circus (two adjacent shopping centres in Bristol) is a little lane which Upfest curated for some spectacular pieces as a precursor to Upfest 2026. How brilliant to brighten up this area, reinforcing Bristol’s reputation as a global hub for street art. This outstanding piece is by Portsmouth’s superstar My Dog Sighs, and was the first of three he has painted in the city this year.

This piece blends a trademark eye by My Dog Sighs with a musical theme with plenty of speaker cones dotted about the piece, and a music staff containing some notes and notation. The whole piece is decorated with attractive colourful splats, providing an interesting backdrop for his themes. There appear to be people celebrating in the reflection in the eye, and I am sure there is a backstory relating to them. A wonderful piece for shoppers and visitors alike to enjoy.
