Thread Name: Questions about Hughie Graham
Subject: RE: Questions about Hughie Graham
The tune that MacColl uses on "English and Scottish Ballads" and "Choruses from the Gallows" is the same as Fairport used for Sir Patrick Spens and prior to Fairport recording it I had never heard SPS performed to that tune.
I once heard Hughie the Graham sung to another tune by IIRC Ian Fraser at Birtley Folk Club around 1967 but I can't recall how it went.
