Thread Name: Lyr ADD: 13 Florins on the Bar (Mike Sparks)
Subject: Tune Add: THIRTEEN FLORINS ON THE BAR
Here is a version of the tune (a little later than expected!). It's more or less how I sing it (altered slightly where Rhiannon thought Mike Sparks sang it differently). It's certainly different from Graeme's version and it may be different from Mike's own (I haven't heard him do it for a while), so I may e-mail Mike and see if I can get a definitive version from him.
