2009 was a year of building the Northern Ireland artist Joe Echo’s foundations through continual touring, writing and recording.Touring in 2010 is a priority and he’s recently included shows with The Script, Paolo Nutini, James Morrison, Powderfinger and Eskimo Joe amongst others.
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.
