Probably Jerry's most famous composition, 'Brenda Stubbert's Reel' has been performed and recorded around the world by fiddlers, pipers, pipe bands and instrumental groups. First recorded in 1982 on Master Cape Breton Fiddler.

Click to enlargeJerry Holland and lighthouse keeper Paul Cranford, first started arranging and notating Jerry's compositions together in the early '80s. The result of this collaboration was "Jerry Holland's Collection of Fiddle Tunes", a book of traditional and original fiddle tunes which was first published in 1988. A perennial favourite since then, a revised and expanded edition was published in 1992. In 1995 the book went into its third edition and today it is available globally from major distributors.

If you are searching for notation to a specific tune the Cranford Publications website is a good place to start. The index to Jerry's book and indexes to many other books can be found there. In addition you can listen to real audio, view more samples of notation and link to many related sites. Cranford Publications sells book of fiddle music and related recordings.
