Hi and welcome to my piano page.
Below, you will find a recordings of my arrangements to date; various melodies from well known musicians / composers in today's folk scene. I hope you enjoy them, please note that they are available as sheet music - both hard copy and electronic download, see shop tab.
To begin, I will start by telling you what inspired me begin to write out my piano arrangements and to then create this page .... I had just had the piano tuned ... she called to me in all her glory and on a wet & windy day in Ireland I was inspired to post a video clip on Facebook of one of my favourite piano arrangements 🎶 ... low and behold before I knew it, there were over 1,000 viewings, it really made my day. A few people asked for them, so I started to seek the composers' permission to use them, and from there to transcribe them onto manuscript.
The front cover is taken from an original water colour by my brother Stephen Collins - I commissioned him to create it.
Below you will find video clips of my arrangements, drop me a line here if you are interested in purchasing the sheet music, I also sell the cover design as A6 blank cards and A4 prints, click here.
