Jaimie Baird exhibition 5 - 27 April 2024 10:00am - 4:00pm Free admission East Kilbride Arts Centre

 

Jamie began painting when he was in prison. He quickly realised that he enjoyed painting and it passed time whilst he was locked up at night.

As he continued to paint, people were commenting on his work and encouraging him to keep doing it. He realised it was a focus that played a huge part in his recovery from substance misuse. He is now currently four years clean and sober. 

The majority of canvases on display have been painted using acrylic during his time in prison. Jamie is still developing and trying new techniques and styles but has really enjoyed the use of colour.

Most of the images displayed hold a special meaning to him.

Coming from the lifestyle that Jamie used to live he could never have imagined himself becoming an artist. He is hoping to use this new found skill to help build a legitimate future.

This Is Where We Get Off follows the Moffatt family through some of the most difficult days of their lives. Yvonne is seven months pregnant, her husband Phillip is constantly disappearing and leaving dodgy phone bills behind. Their eighteen your old son Lip is debating joining the army and trying to navigate his love life, and their dog-breeding, sex toy-selling neighbour Rhonda is still doing her weekly shop in their kitchen.

How will they cope with the unexpected arrival of an estranged family member…?

AC/DC, arguably the greatest rock band of all time, are brought to life by Live/Wire with the true passion you would expect from professional musicians who share your love of this legendary live act. They deliver a critically acclaimed High Voltage two hour rock ’n’ roll set with not only cannons and a full bank of Marshall amps but a journey that takes fans from one of the best-selling albums of all time ‘Back in Black’ through to the 2020 release ‘PWR UP’, with a healthy dose of the classics from the Bon Scott era.

With over 20 years of touring under their belt, Live/Wire put the audience right in the middle of a live experience comparable to that only AC/DC themselves produce. We invite AC/DC fans to join us, sing with us and relive some of those classic AC/DC concerts of the past on our very own Highway to Hell.
