And don't forget to sing 'Thirteen florins on the bar'Mick.
Looking forward to a great line up and Tims debut. Having witnessed his performances at the singaround at Brandy Wharf I am looking forward to his spot on Friday. The guy is good!
I guess the whole line up looks good eh? Best wishes, Mike.

The song is by Mike Sparks of Herga, based on The Crown pub at Hartest (which has rather more than 13 coins - of varied nature - nailed above the bar and on beams in the pub. There are, however, just 13 names on the WWI war memorial). The story was that they each nailed the coin on the bar for a drink when they returned. ("And every last man Jack, for a pint when he came back, Left a silver florin on the bar" in Mike's song).
Graeme Nights does a slighly different version.

THIRTEEN FLORINS (HARTEST 1915) Mike Sparks

Ch/    Thirteen florins on the bar,
       Their voices echo from afar.
       No one ever said we'd change our golden fields for red
       When we each left a florin on the bar.

The poppies have been laid,
The sermons have been made,
The bold November sun it sinks afar.
And we've bent our heads in prayer
For those we buried there,
Who left these thirteen florins on the bar.                Chorus

We'd sung the harvest hymn,
The nights were drawing in,
We could take a week or two, help win the war.
And every last man Jack,
For a drink when he got back,
Left a silver florin on the bar.

No one thought about the blood
Or the endless seas of mud
Or the sights and sounds that would minds and memories scar.
For when the fighting it was done,
And victory had been won,
It cost these thirteen florins on the bar.                Chorus

Now the decades have rolled past,
Of those who went, well I'm the last,
Their faces throught a haze of years are marred.
If we'd known then what I know now
We'd have stayed to speed the plough
Instead, here's thirteen florins on the bar.                Chorus

The poppies have been laid,
The sermons have been made,
The bold November sun it sinks afar.
And we've bent our heads in prayer
For those we buried there,
Who left these thirteen florins on the bar.                Chorus

Does that help Breezy?

Is there a link to listen to this song anywhere?

Villan and Sooz - Mr. Breeze is having a laugh with you! He knows Mike very well.

I'll see if I can sing this on Friday along with some other requests (but not half a Nelson for you, Mr. Breeze, you'll have to stay awake for all of it if I do it). Les did ask me if I could be entertaining(he's obviously seen me before) but I hold out little hope.

Shame others weren't at Brandy Wharf the other Saturday to hear that lady (sorry can't remember her name) do a lovely version of it, Sooz!
Looking forward to Friday...hope to see a good few of you there, I mean, what else could be better than chilling with a glass/bottle/can of something good, and live music?
Oh no...not another bbq? Pleeeeeeeeeeez! Bring your friends/acquaintances/bloke you don't know from the end of your road/hot dog/veggie burger along...Hey Villan, maybe you could set up a barbie area in the carpark for the break?!!!
What about having a reward points system for those who attend regularly...? It is easy to sit at home and watch tv but...come on down to THE HAPPENING PLACE in Lincolnshire!    :-)
PS Isn't it quiet on here without Twangy? lol!

Apologies accepted Breezy LOL

I will be up front Breezy, becuase I will be MC'ing and I have this magical hook that yanks people offstage if they don't behave. Not had to use it yet, but there is always the first time.

You are right Rockhen, it is quite with the twanglers away.

Where have all the twanglers gone
Long time passing
Where have all the twanglers gone
Long time ago
Where have all the twanglers gone
Gone to Staithes to have some fun

No Mike.
