If I'm being honest, I don't remember much about the 90's or early 00's. Weekends were spent partying, probably a bit too hard, but it was the Celtic Tiger era and we thought we were invincible and the party would last forever. I spent those weekendss drinking and dancing (badly) in a local club called Bauhaus. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it, at the time it was great, the next morning though... Champagne, drank by the neck, was the drink of choice and yes, it was as obnoxious as it sounds. Late 2002, the party came to an end for me, I just stopped and I haven't touched a drop since. Whilst I've always been a rocker at heart, I can't help myself when I hear a good dance tune. After all, a good tune is a good tune, regardless of genre! Most of the acts performing today were from that era of my life, a time when Music TV still existed and an appearance on TOTP could make you a star. So, with that in mind, I headed out to the Biggest Disc
Jerry Fish has been involved in my musical life since I was a teenager...
An Emotional Fish were one of the greatest Irish bands never to make it on the world wide stage. They threatened a few times with a few songs in top 20 of the US Modern Rock Charts back in the early 90s, but it never quite happened for them. It was most unfortunate, as they were a force to be reckoned with live.
After they parted, a few years later, Jerry came back with Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club and had great success in Ireland with them. Like an Emotional Fish, they too were an incredible live band and I got to see them perform on may occasions.
Jerry is currently touring with his 'The Songs and Tall Tales of Jerry Fish' show and I caught this week in the Newbridge Arts Centre. As always, Jerry puts on an incredible live show. It was a magnificent night that included songs spanning his whole career and I'll cherish the memory of slow dancing on stage with Jerry for ever!
If you get the chance, go see him, you'll not be disappointed.
