Let Fly is a new album of Irish traditional music from Danny Diamond (fiddle) and Brian Miller (guitar & bouzouki). It showcases Diamond’s distinctive fiddle style, which fuses deep roots in the Irish tradition with a rare expressiveness and depth of feeling. Miller’s playing weaves sympathetically around the fiddle, adding structure, energy and drive; and always with impeccable taste.
The tunes were sourced by Danny from his family, friends and musical mentors in Ireland during spring 2020: tune versions, names, and background stories flying back and forth on phone and video calls, maintaining a connection with home and community during pandemic-induced exile.
The album was rehearsed during the summer of 2020 in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St Paul: letting tunes fly into the hot Midwestern summer nights, as an offering to all affected by the social unrest which played out in our neighbourhoods in May and June. Neighbours and passers-by enjoyed the musical reprieve, sometimes stopping to listen. Rehearsals were interrupted by city-wide curfews and disrupted by the sound of hovering helicopters. As the weather turned cold we squeezed in a last few practice sessions before recording over a weekend early in late September at The Hideaway Studios in Northeast Minneapolis and mixing at home over the following weeks.
