Jerry Fish is one of Ireland’s most enigmatic and entertaining performers with his now legendary live shows, a unique live theatrical experience that dissolves all boundaries between performer and audience.Blasting onto the Music Scene in the 1990’s touring the globe as front-man of alternative rock outfit An Emotional Fish, the band who gave us the indie rock anthem “Celebrate”.Mr. Fish’s genre bending and idiosyncratic style of entertainment has made him a household name within the Irish Music industry. With two Platinum selling solo albums, an MTV award and IRMA Music Award. A highly charismatic performer who refuses to countenance audiences having anything but a good time, accentuating the positive and bringing smiles to troubled faces with his swaggering vocal, generous and infectious smile and that fantastic vaudeville moustache.
So ‘come together’ and celebrate with us this St. Patrick’s Day and enjoy the post-parade party at the Festival Quarter!
The Festival Stage will be located at the Festival Quarter beside The Left Bank, on the corner of Patrick St, The Parade and High St. The post Parade Concert will kick off at 3.30pm with The Hit Machine before Jerry Fish takes to the stage at 4pm.
