I was in Dublin city centre this morning for the first time in 12 months. The last time I was there was to see Jane Willow perform in the Cobblestone Pub on February 29th 2020. I never, not for a moment, thought things would turn out as they did. I was looking forward to a year full of gigs and excitement. I think we all know how that turned out. After doing what I had to workwise, I took a spin around Dublin before I headed home. I drove by the aforementioned Cobblestone Pub , the Voodoo Lounge , The Grand Social , The Workmans Club , The Sugar Club and ended up outside Whelans . I've had great nights out in each of those venues and in many more around the country! Dolans of Limerick, Crane Lane Theatre and Kino in Cork, Odd Mollies in Drogheda, the Moat Theatre in Naas, the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge, the Solstice Arts Centre in Navan, Visual in Carlow...

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.
