I have been a Chris De Burgh fan for many years, well before Ferryman came out, but that song is one of my favourites. When I did an arrangment of it, although I was still quite inexperienced, it got picked up by the Official Chris De Burgh website, and they asked me to do a few more.

I really don't think I've done enough to properly honour the brilliance of the man, but here's my small tribute to a great songwriter/singer.
Don't Pay The Ferryman wma
mid		 This was the first of my Chris De Burgh arrangments, which I did simply because I love the song. You can hear my inexperience in it, but I did re-mix it a little to suit the Roland keyboard, so the wma does not sound too terrible.
In A Country Churchyard mid Still very early arrangment, but I love the piano work in it. I really should re-mix this to suit my keyboard, and then record it, as this mix does not quite sound right with the standard windows sound banks. I think back when I did this, I was using a SB-Live card, and goodness knows which sound-font it was mixed to. Hopefully re-mix it for the Roland in the not-too-distant, and improve the sound quality a bit.
A Spaceman Came Travelling wma
mid		 This was an early arrangement, but I re-mixed it for my Roland. The mix still sounds a bit technical, but the wma file has come out ok. The synths give it the eerie feel I was looking for, while the piano work provides it with a nice, acoustic sound. The mix of the two works well for me.
Satin Green Shutters mid This is a really nice song, although like many of Chris's songs, has a hint of dark undertones. My arrangement, with the original synths, managed to capture this. It needs a remix for the Roland synts, but I don't think there's too much work to do there. The feel has held in there, even though the technical mix is not quite right.

This is the last complete arrangement I did of Chris's work, and it took me ages. The song has 3 distinct movements, with the 1st movement repeating at the end as a conclusion. The 3rd movement is a battle, which the sheet music did not provide. So I have ad-libbed here, trying to produce the feel of a medieval battle. Lots of overdriven guitar and distortion, I think, has succeeded.

This is one I did a complete remix for the Roland on, and so it sounds a bit better than much of my early work. This is one of my favourites, and I hope you enjoy it too.
