Proclaimers ask fans to film football anthem

The Proclaimers will ask fans to record their legendary anthem ‘Sunshine on Leith’ during two sold out shows at the Edinburgh Castle esplanade this weekend - with footage set to be used in a special side project.

A short documentary being made about the popular song - which is famously sung by fans of Hibernian Football Club by Filming Scotland. On the band’s website, a request has been posted for people to film all or parts of the song on their camera phones, shooting it landscape to be added to the documentary.

The message states: “You don’t need to film the whole thing, after all you are here to enjoy the show, but even if it is 20-30 seconds of the song, the crowd that’ll be great, or even better feel free to turn the camera on you and your nearest as you belt out a classic under the castle lights.”
