I have many arrangements available for folk singing groups and community singing groups. I also provide bespoke arrangements on request.
During the pandemic I made recordings of several folk song arrangements. All songs will work with a small or large group and mixed voices and are scored a cappella or with guitar chords. The recordings are multi track vocals with guitar accompaniment.
You can listen below or just click HERE
I also have many other folk song arrangements and these are listed below after the score samples.
