This is a track I wrote with my 9 year old student Jasmine Clarkson in 2009. I helped her structure the song using the Chords A, D and E, then helped her write some lyrics that all Burnley FC fans could relate to. When the song was written, I knew it had potential to be really catchy and quite simply a family anthem for the club. Therefore, I arranged a meeting with the club, played and sang them the song and the rest was history.
After the meeting, the club asked for an Indie/Rock version of the song to be produced and a video to go with it. At the time I was working closely with Bryan Fieldhouse at The Reverb Factory Ltd (http://www.thereverbfactory.com), who took charge of producing the video and I took charge of producing the song.

The Video was shot mainly at Turf Moor and the Studio where we recorded the song, here is the final outcome - http://youtu.be/XgPNIzyeOxs. The song was recorded, mixed and mastered by John Webber at Blue Pro Studio's in London (http://www.blueprostudios.com). I took care of producing the song with additional pre-production from my good friend Martin Ogden. I drafted in Baz Rawlinson from my band 'Bashphelt' to play Drums on the track, while I took care of Guitar, Bass and Vocals. The girl you hear on the song is of course Jasmine.

As much as this song isn't from the heart, I'm proud of it because of the coverage it got with the local media plus Radio Five Live, BBC News, ITV News and Sky Sports News. Some of this coverage can be seen on my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/andrewrgilmour.
