Damien McGeehan happily announces the release of his solo album ‘The Tin Fiddle’, a studio album which has been more than a year in the making. Damien is already known for his innovative approach to the instrument through the award winning Donegal fiddle trio ‘Fidil’ and this album represents an exciting new departure into arranging and composition.
The project is made all the more interesting by the decision to create the work on a tin fiddle, an instrument that was tapped into shape in a matter of hours by an expert tinsmith and its non-tin elements salvaged from a fiddle that had come to the end of its days.
The interweaving of old sounds with new abstract ideas and interpretations is the underlying theme throughout this album making it a truly unique and memorable listen. (Irish Music Magazine) |
