Irish indie legend and musical ringmaster Jerry Fish has released the gorgeous Dreaming Of Daniel, an album of songs by the late, great Daniel Johnson with sterling contributions from May Kay and producer Cian Boylan.
Jerry has run the January ‘Hi, How Are You Day’ – a worldwide celebration of Johnson’s legacy which also focuses on mental health and well being – since 2020. He says, ‘This is my first vinyl record in thirty-four years and my first LP in fifteen years. A labour of love, five years in the making. I am very proud of it.”
“It’s a record full of amazingly talented musicians, a fourteen-piece orchestra, a three-piece brass section, backing vocals from some of the best vocal talent in Ireland, praising one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
The annual ‘Hi, How Are You Day’ gig happens on January 26th 2025 in The Grand Social.
