The Cape Breton fiddle is famous for good reason

[@l.christenachisholm5515]

Wicked good!

[@Marymarcella]

Thanks so much for your answer. I am enjoying listening to it again and some of your links.

[@nozecone]

Amazing.

[@paauggie]

My God!!!!! ..and I thought I was a musical genius....:)

[@janiscortese]

Holy crickets. She's fantastic.

[@madhatful]

The tune following Gravel Walks is The Foxhunter's.

[@Fiddlinwonder29]

The first one is a reel that Jerry Holland put to this speed. A Gaelic song called "Cuir i glun air a'bhodaich"

[@jaredfenwick2856]

Do you no the name of song number 3?

[@cynthiajordan1820]

I remember Jerry Holland. He use to come our home when I was young in the Boston area. If I remember correctly he moved to the Boston area. I don't know if he moved back to NS.

[@eboshi122]

Jesus she can play the fiddle something fierce

[@sfedroid]

What does it take to find a clip of Brenda Stubbert playing Brenda Stubbert's Reel? That, I need to see. I'd move to Cape Breton to see it. I've heard a brief snatch of Jerry Holland playing it, and the Altan version.

[@FiddlerSteve]

For what it's worth there's a recording of her playing Brenda Stubbert's on Traditional Music from Cape Breton Island, recorded at the 1993 Cork University Traditional Music Festival. The mp3's available on Amazon.

[@billsdubious]

Brenda is so modest and such a great and prolific composer herself that I don’t think I’ve ever heard her play Brenda Stubbert’s, and I bought a house in CB just so I could hang out with all the fiddle players there. But if you go to CB you will hear Brenda Stubbert’s Reel played at every dang session ever. Hint: Northside session at the Blue Mist Tavern, say no more.

[@billsdubious]

And just to be clear, Brenda Stubbert’s Reel was written by her good friend the late, brilliant Jerry Holland. They name them for their friends, not theirselves, thats the Cape Breton way.

[@celticcolours]

Hi @Missycleo1. You can find the notation (for free) at this great site: thesession (dot) org (slash) tunes (slash) display(slash) 671 . Great tune isn't it!?

[@violayla]

i also would like to know the names of the tunes.

[@DavidHaile_profile]

4:25 Brenda is talking to the guitar player about the upcoming change while playing amazing fiddle! Sheesh - it would take another lifetime to learn to do that. Also 5:30, she does the same thing but has trouble getting the keyboard player's attention so she gives him a shout.

[@valevalard1450]

I mean, there is no better

[@MISSYCLEO1]

i understand the name ofd this tune to be the green fields of glentown can en yone tell me where i can purchase the notations

[@Marymarcella]

[@poundtacos4006]

[@fgx900]

5:32 : gravel walk 6:54 : standard tune in irish session, but i forget the name no. 8:13 : the green fields of glentown

[@josephmcmahon7470]

6:54 Foxhunter's reel

[@marcellin8]

Drive 'er, Brenda

[@bonenfant96]

FINALLY a guitarist without a capo.

[@jofjo51]

And he plays a right-handed guitar left handed!

[@traceybailey6384]

That is my nanny isn’t she good

[@maidenrulz73]

Tracey Bailey yes.....one of the best

[@maidenrulz73]

Tracey Bailey so your mom is the daughter of Brenda? If so,is your mom a step dancer?

[@maidenrulz73]

There was a vid posted years ago and had since been taken down....I believe it was Brenda’s daughter step dancing to Brenda’s playing....if I recall it looked as if they were in a kitchen....best dancing I’ve ever seen...I wish I could see that vid again

[@cynthiajordan1820]

She's awesome. I wonder if we are related. My mother's maiden name was Stubbert. They were from Inverness.

[@nskimharris]
