‘Use A Smile As Your Umbrella’

Hello Everybody,

Well looks like I’m back in the Swampadelic Limelight of Show Business once again.

How Wonderful and often Strange A World it is… At times, An Ego Minefield, A Money-Go-Round, but then in the blink of an eye one is transported to a place of GORGEOUS ONENESS. Surrounded by Circus performers and the most beautiful audience known to man, (that would be you!) pure Magic!

Those of you who have been to see The Mudbug Club since the release of ‘The Beautiful Untrue’ will know exactly what I’m talking about. Thank you for being there… @ Cork for the first Show in too long @ Drogheda with Carol Keogh and her band @ Wexford with Candice Gordon @ Tower Records with the cool boy @ The Academy with the Fire Breathing Clown, Candy Floss Girls and the wonderful Bone Idle Circus, Hillas & Flora. @ Limerick with Carol Keogh @ The Happy Valley in Thomastown with Gavin Glass, The Ladies that danced on the tables and the children that proved to us that ‘Life Is Sweet’ to yesterday’s busking in HMV on Grafton St. Seeing you Smiling in the Dublin rain was unforgettable. Thank You Xx

I am putting the finishing touches to the next single ‘Dig, A Dog & Bone Story’
‘Everybody’ ‘Get Yourself Happy’ ‘Get Yourself Happy’ and ‘Pass It On’
Roll on The Summer!… As well as The Junction Festival in Clonmel on July 4th… We have been confirmed for Oxegen on Saturday the 11th of July. The Mudbug Club will happen @ Midnight after The Pet Shop Boys on the Green Spheres Stage.
The Galway Arts Festival on the 18th of July and Cork XSW Festival in Skibereen on the 1st of August.
I hope to see you in your glad rags at one of these shows!

Remember if it’s raining ‘Use A Smile As Your Umbrella’

LoVe, Jerry The Fish Xx


I would like to express my sadness at the news of David Carradine’s demise.
I was lucky enough to spend a day recording David in Los Angeles last year, he was a cool guy with a big heart.
RIP David Carradine. JF
