An Emotional Fish – Grey Matter

Continuing our series of underrated Irish music since 1960, reader axelf pins his colours to the mast for An Emotional Fish – one of many bands dubbed “the next U2” in late 1980s Dublin.

Signed to U2’s Mother Records, they toured with Bono and the lads and Simple Minds.

Singer Ger Whelan (above second right) went on to transform into the consummate showman Jerry Fish.

Grey Matter was a single from their debut eponymous 1990 album.

Axelf writes:

“A lovely ’80s video of a snowy Dublin and lyrics like ‘I drilled a hole in my head to let the sun shine through’. What’s not to love?”

Nick says: Thrills, gills and bellyaches.

      I like him.
      Great live performer because I’m a sucker for a good brass section and a decent songwriter.
      He’s partial to a smoke too.
      Not sure why he raises such antipathy.
