JERRY FISH
He’s one of Ireland’s most enigmatic and entertaining performers to the point where the Electric Picnic have now afforded him his own stage.
An indie legend and ringmaster of exceptional renown, Jerry Fish has evolved into a showman extraordinaire, capturing the hearts and minds of audiences all over with his now legendary live shows, a unique live theatrical experience that dissolves all boundaries between performer and audience.

Jerry Fish blasted onto the Music Scene in the 1990’s touring the globe as frontman of alternative rock outfit An Emotional Fish, the band who gave us the indie rock anthem ‘Celebrate’ These days the name Jerry Fish is synonymous with Festivals, Carnival Sideshow, Circus and Theatre. 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, and a reputation as a supreme and spectacular showman.

Be sure not to miss Jerry’s now legendary picnic shows and end of the world parties.

Welcome to “The Big Love” the most unique festival party on the planet!

November 6, 2017

The Big Love is a secret festival party hosted by a very cool family and group of friends, over the past five years. So far The Big Love has raised hundreds of thousands of euro for children’s charities in Ireland.

I don’t know of any other event of it’s kind in the world and I am very proud of my involvement and that of The Jerry Fish Electric Sideshow over the last number of years.

This year we have taken a year off to see if we can find a way of making even BIGGER LOVE in the future. Please enjoy this video compilation of footage shot over the past few years put together by our friend Ivars Burtnieks, cut to the music of Ash, The Strypes and yours truly.

Big Love, Jerry x
