Darren Day’s ‘Danny Boy’ is one of the most imaginative, creative, and rewarding arrangements of this timeless melody. Darren combines a fresh, modern, and idiosyncratic approach which enables pianists of Grade 8 level and beyond to express the depth and beauty of this tune with resounding pianistic colour, texture, and harmony. It offers a unique opportunity for pianists to perform the tune with the treatment it deserves. A stunning and highly-recommended arrangement for every intermediate to advanced player.

It's so satisfying to play a well-tuned piano - great to have had both the grand and upright tuned and regulated yesterday! They get quite a hammering, as you might imagine, though both are in tip-top shape for practise, lessons, recitals, and duos. :)
