Under the Canton Stand - OT

Fri Feb 11, 2022 7:48 pm

My boss’ son was the singer of the band who played under the Canton on Wednesday gone (Peterborough game) and he was absolutely buzzing afterwards as he loved the entire experience, only made possible by the fans, particularly the youth mobbing together at the end and singing songs.

The band were only selected at the last minute as there was a cancellation, so didn’t have much preparation time. They noticed the reaction to the Seven Nation Army song (Kev McNaughton) and I explained that it’s always best to throw in some football related songs. Hey Jude is another that springs to mind.

Other than these two, can anyone think of songs that the fans would happily join in with as the band have been invited back to the Canton Stand and want to engage with supporters.

Also, if anyone has any honest feedback for this young band starting off, it would be warmly received, so please let me know and I’ll pass it on. :bluescarf:

Three little birds.

Surely an easy one. And simple enough for a band to put their own spin on it?

I'll Be There by The Stand, Johnny Owen, the film producer and a top City fan recorded it at the time when the Fred Keenor statue was being fundraised and released it as a single. I've forgotten how to embed YouTube videos so here's the link:
