Belladrum favourites, Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5 feature in ‘unofficial Scottish anthem’ for this year’s Euro tournament

The Hunter & McMustard & Mellow Party are set to release a new song called 'Go on Yourself', featuring Dumfries Community Choir.

The song has been claimed to become a 'favourite’ throughout the EUFA European Championships 2024 commencing this month. Featuring musicians from Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5, The Creative Martyrs, The Laurette’s, Gleadraich and Dumfries Community Choir.

However, the lyrics were written by one of Belladrum’s all time favourites, John McMustard from Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5.

John McMustard of Hunter & McMustard said: “The song wasn’t originally intended as a Tartan Army anthem, but as we started to collaborate with more people, the momentum just sort of grew from there which is why we wanted to release it ahead of the Euros.

“This is an anthem that guarantees a sing song any time it’s played live and we're hopeful the Tartan Army gets right behind it.”

All the musicians created the song with the ambition of creating an ‘unofficial Scottish anthem’ for this year’s Euro tournament, which kick-off in Germany later this month.

Artists have come together from all corners of Scotland including Carnoustie, Kirkcudbrght, Forres, Kilwinning, Pitlochry, Falkirk, Dumfries, Lochmaben, Annan, Lanark, Dennistoun, Gourock and Shawlands in Glasgow.

The song starts as a ballad and ends with a high-octane ceilidh, which also comes with a video that was filmed at Hampden Scottish Football Museum.

Gary Cameron, (34), director of music at Dumfries Community Choir said of the release: “We are honoured to be collaborating with Hunter & McMustard on this rousing anthem.

“There has been mutual love between Dumfries Community Choir and Colonel Mustard (John McMustard) for a while now. This is a perfect way to showcase our collective talents. “

Maureen Farrell, (78), a member of Dumfries Community Choir added: “What I love about this song is how upbeat it makes you feel which won’t only make the fans feel good, but hopefully our talented Scotland teams will feel how much we believe in them.”

'Go On Yourself' is set to be released on Friday, June 7, via Button Up Records.
