The new single Morning Star is on the way
Blue Fish Diamond release their latest single, Morning Star, which reflects on the age-old struggle of good versus evil and redemption through love.
Morning Star was recorded in Orphan Recording Studios and was produced by Gavin Glass. The artwork for the single was designed by Mark Keogh. A video for the single will be released on Friday 25 October which was produced by Lacuna Creations.
Blue Fish Diamond are a Dublin based indie folk rock band who formed in late 2016. In 2018, they released three singles followed by their debut album From Dark To Light, which Hot Press magazine described as “essential listening for those who like their music powerful and heartfelt”.
The band’s songs are written by Jim Murphy, a latecomer to the music industry whose influences include Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Paul Simon.
In 2014, he began a degree course in Commercial Modern Music at BIMM music college, following 25 years of working in insurance. At BIMM, he met like-minded musicians with whom he formed the band in late 2016. The band comprises:
Jim Murphy (rhythm guitar & lead vocals)
Shay Sweeney (drums)
Ronan Quinn (bass)
Laura Ryder (piano)
Axel McDonald (lead guitar)
Matilda O’Mahony (backing vocals)
Ella Ryan (backing vocals)
Blue Fish Diamond has played at many Dublin music venues since their formation including the Tivoli, Whelans, The Workmans Club and The Grand Social. They have also played at venues in Wicklow and Kilkenny and have played at music festivals in Dublin, Cork and Laois (including Electric Picnic in 2018).
The band will launch the single on Friday 11 October at a show in The Underground on Dame St. (Dublin 2).
