The Proclaimers – Sunshine on Leith

I was in the kitchen the other day and for some reason they were talking about The Proclaimers on Radio 2 – what was their best song? Most of the listeners said that Sunshine on Leith was their favourite, mind you the DJ did say that it was mainly people from Leith who were emailing in and it was a lovely sunny day in Leith at that time. So here are The Proclaimers singing it at T In the Park, the music festival which is held near us every year.

It’s the Hibs football fans’ anthem and it’s just a shame that today’s match result couldn’t at least have been a wee bit less of a gubbing for them, especially as The Proclaimers are fans.

Here’s a video of the fans singing it in happier times.

We still haven’t managed to find the time to get back to Leith to visit the Royal Yacht Britannia, why do the weekends always go so quickly?

Just because I love The Wee Proclaimers here they are again.

  1. I’m rather fond of the Proclaimers’ songs – and am pleased they sang in their own accents, odd as it may seem to others!

    • Evee,
      We’re just so used to people singing in mock American accents, it seems strange when they don’t.
