One of Ireland's most enigmatic songwriter/performers, Jerry Fish, who released his new album The Beautiful Untrue earlier this year, plays the Roisin Dubh on Saturday 19 December.

The Beautiful Untrue followed on the heels of Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club's debut album Be Yourself and rode high in the Irish charts with the Irish Times saying, 'The Beautiful Untrue builds imaginatively on The Mudbug Club's debut album and Jerry's Mudbug world of comic-cut theatre feels more attractive with each track... this record is guaranteed to put a smile on troubled faces.'

Watching Jerry Fish do his lounge-lizard turn onstage evokes the smoky ghosts of Tom Waits, Willy DeVille, Professor Longhair and Dr John. With his rolling band of troubadours, Jerry Fish weaves a strange, heady brew of barrio blues, juke-joint jazz, psychedelia, tropicalia and whatever you're having yourself.

Doors 9pm and tickets (€22.50/€20) are available now from Roisin Dubh, Zhivago Shop Street and www.roisindubh.net.
