A few weeks ago I did a gig in Southport with Andy White to help raise money for the New Victoria Cricket Club who are humble little side playing in the lancashire leagues but who last year managed to beat the Bulgarian national team! They have organised a return to Bulgaria and also this time to Romania, in July, taking with them various bits and pieces of cricket gear they will donate out there. These are still very poor countries and cricket teams are very low on list of priorities but sport is a great way of forging friendship (forget about Chelsea for a moment) and it is a brilliant thing they are doing. Visit the New Victoria website for more details.
At the fundraiser I was asked if I would write a tour song for them. They wanted it dumb and sing alongable and it is certainly dumb! I understand they are going to do a video for it and will stick it on youtube when available. Will keep you informed.
The song is called Play The Game and is a bit of a departure I suppose but I have had previous where dumb sport singalongs are concerned, so it’s not totally unexpected.
