| Shoreham Lions - Any win will do |
A pair of unlikely candidates may be winging their way to the top of the charts with a world cup anthem set to have England scoring their way to the world cup final! Locals Wayne Gumbrell, managing director of Lionvest flooring company, and Mark Burt, of Pavillion Roofing penned the song after Mark heard his daughter playing her Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat CD in the car! Watch it here! = 'Any win will do' on YouTube
The song, called Any Win Will Do, had already attracted interest from BBC South Today when the two lads wrote it for a competition for The Sun newspaper for the World Cup in Germany in 2006. The song was made into a pop video for the programme, featuring the lyrics bouncing along the bottom of the screen! This time the two men along with 13 footballers and friends from Shoreham Football Club have recorded it at Sussex Academy of Music’s (SAM) Riverside Recording Studio and entered it into the Talk Sport Battle of the Bands competition. They are hoping to win both the competition and hearts of the nation so they can give all of the profits to local charity the Floodlight Fund.
Gumbrell also has a history of being an extreme supporter of England and football in general, and has been a sole importer of wooden footballs for a long while, his own wooden football displayed on the Soccer AM coffee table for six months!
SAM has supported the Shoreham Lion’s world cup anthem from the beginning with musicians from the company’s vast number of music tutors providing the backing music for the song. Ryan Gorringe, guitarist in the band and producer of the record, said the recording of the video was a really fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. ‘It was just such a good atmosphere, and the song is a true football anthem’.
The video has had numerous hits on youtube, and is likely to gather many more as the excitement of the world cup 2010 in South Africa builds. To show your support for the song, you can watch the video on YouTube by searching for Shoreham Lions Any Win Will Do, and vote for the team when their song appears on Talksport’s Battle of the Bands.
The song will be available for download soon on i-tunes, please keep checking back for more updates and information on how to show your support!
