The current catalogue of Hollins recorded music is fairly representative. However there are a number of obvious gaps. For example there is no choral piece or song with piano accompaniment. Alfred Hollins is never going to generate a huge following, even amongst organists he is often regarded as being ‘old-fashioned.’ Yet it seems that recitalists are prepared to give his music a chance.

In the list below we find Hollins work beside the ‘greats'. And this is as it should be. Hollins broke no new ground but what he composed was competent and interesting.
