The 4 Of Us
March 9th 2019 at 8:30pm
Tickets €20
The 4 Of Us are one of the most acclaimed bands in Ireland, having been a steadfast part of Irish music history for over 25 years. Blending contemporary roots with rock, the award - winning band was formed by brothers Brendan and Declan Murphy from the border town of Newry in Northern Ireland.
Their truly unique sound has garnered a large and loyal fan base and an enviable catalogue of timeless songs, including six Top 20 Irish charting albums and several hit singles. Regulars on Irish radio playlists, their music has also been featured extensively on American, UK, and Irish TV soundtracks. The 4 Of Us shot to early fame towards the end of 1989 with their debut Songs for the Tempted, which featured the massive hits Mary and Drag My Bad Name Down. The follow- up Man Alive made Q
magazines prestigious Top 50 Albums of 1992 and included the UK Top 30 song She Hits Me.
Sugar Island, their latest album, explores the Murphy brothers’ early years growing up in a border town during the height of the troubles in Northern Ireland.
As singer Brendan recalls: “It was a dark time for sure, but as kids we still managed to have a lot of fun. Everyone who lived through that time has their own stories to tell; we thought we’d share some of ours.” Musically, the new album focuses on their trademark interplay of weaving acoustic guitars, a sound that’s all their own.
This concert will see the brothers in an up-tempo acoustic setting-expect some beautiful songs, stunning interplay and great stories from the road.

14th september 2018 - 29th october 2018
The Presentation Arts Centre is proud to present a body of work by Wexford born artist Kate Tyrrell. This is Kate's first solo exhibition of work and is honoured to be presented during the 67th Annual Wexford Opera Festival.
Kate Tyrrell is a self-taught artist working from her studio by the sea at Ballinoulart, which has been her inspiration to create unique pieces of art.
Natural materials found and gathered from our Irish shores have given each piece of Kate's work a distinct personality. The colours and textures resemble the natural world. A collection of seashore treasures which have been pounded and rounded smooth over time by the ocean have been used.
Kate is greatly energized by the sea and its natural beauty and enjoys seaprizing and gathering materials on a daily basis. Kate also uses materials collected and dried from her garden and hedgerows around the area. The same process is used to dry the material as that of the seaweed. The flowers used are gathered on a dry day, pressed and painted their natural colours to prevent fading.
