Jerry Fish is the alter ego of singer Gerard Whelan who through the 1990’s was the main creative force in An Emotional Fish, the Irish rock band who released one of the most successful debut Irish albums ever. The band were signed to Atlantic Records by the labels legendary founder the late, great and much loved Ahmet Ertegun.

Jerry made three albums with An Emotional Fish working alongside record producers, Dave Stewart, Tim Palmer, Alan Moulder, and Clive Langer. The band toured the world many times, sharing stages with the likes of Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode, The Velvet Underground, Pearl Jam and U2. Playing such iconic venues as the El Mocambo in Toronto and CBGB’s in New York.

The debut album from Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club, Be Yourself, was described as ‘Leonard Cohen doing Dean Martin’ and ‘an album that bucked the zeitgeist with so much enthusiasm you just had to love it.’ High praise indeed, for one of Ireland’s (by way of Brixton) most enigmatic songwriter/performers. His latest album The Beautiful Untrue is out now.
