Alfred Hollins (1865 - 1942)

Organist & Composer

 

 

It was once said of Hollins that his epitaph should be 'Alfred the Great.' This was true for Hollins was a remarkable man. Not only was he a distinguished organist and composer but he was an excellent teacher and had a fine ability to help audiences understand the pieces he was playing to them. He was perhaps the Carlo Curley of his generation. And he was blind from birth.
