"Lostboy! AKA" Jim Kerr (Simple Minds Frontman)
Legendary Scottish singer/ songwriter Jim Kerr best known as the voice of Simple Minds, one of the most influential British bands to emerge from the Post-Punk revolution of 1978. Promoting his first solo album under the name "Lostboy! AKA" - which is all about big melodic themes, turbo charged rhythms and guitars that shine. It is a noisy and juvenile explosion that comes from a wise head and a sophisticated heart; a rock and roll clatter that involves sequencers and hidden symphonies.

Wexford Arts Centre is delighted to host Ego, a solo exhibition by one of Ireland’s most distinguished artists, Robert Ballagh, to coincide with this year’s 2010 Wexford Opera Festival. With this exhibition, Ballagh will focus on the theme of self-portraiture, presenting a new series of paintings and drawings in the lower gallery with a selection of his more political portraits to be exhibited alongside in the centre’s upper gallery. This new body of work investigates the concept of the self-portrait from the perspective of an artist.
