Thank you

John Pryde comments on the development of the “We’re On Our Way” song and music video and says thank you to everyone involved:


What an epic adventure this has been – so many people have helped bring this song and campaign to life.

I hope fans love chanting the song and that watching the music video stirs all your senses for supporting our national team in Germany! It has been incredible to see people coming together to create the clips for the music video. Thank you for hearing the call to action and for sharing your time, energy and creativity to support our campaign.

It’s an emotive sounding song with pipes and drums, and a German oompah style to it. We also wanted to pay tribute to the traditional sound of Andy Cameron’s 1978 song. These vibes have gone into how the song has been written and composed – and we hope it stands the test of time as an anthem song.

A huge thanks to everyone involved: my friend, Norman Lamont for his help and guidance in producing the original demo, to Dave Valentine and Ed Logan at Heartbeat Studios for their creative genius, to Professor Alan McNeill, Consultant Urologist and Ali McNeill both Trustees of Prostate Scotland for their support, invaluable connections and film production expertise, to Colin Chisholm and David Paton for their expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm, to the pipers and drummers - your sound really added to the song, and to all my friends and hairdressing clients who’ve been listening to the song throughout its development.

A big thank you to Ally McCoist, ITV Sport and STV News for the use of their material.

A special thanks to my wife Lynne and children Archie, Harrison and Rosie for putting up with my dulcet tones around our home and continually singing the same lyrics!

Enjoy watching the championship, whatever the outcome, let’s get behind the boys chanting “We’re On Our Way”. Please donate generously to Prostate Scotland, if you can.
