When I had a gooseberry bush, and it showed signs of gooseberry sawfly, I would chuck some bird feed (ie peanuts, sunflower hearts, etc) under the bush, and the problem would be very quickly sorted. At this time of year when adult birds have chicks to feed, the sawfly grubs are a natural source of food. You can't get much more organic than that!
