WOR FLAGS WAVING DETAILS
The release of this fresh batch of songs by The Exiles coincides with the resurgence of Newcastle United as a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League. As the album title suggests, pride has returned to the club and its massive legion of supporters worldwide, and The Exiles are here to bear witness in song. The title track sums up the exhilaration of qualifying for a Wembley Final after a 24-year interlude, which particularly demanded acknowledgement. Other songs, such as Back on Track and The Toast of Newcastle Now, also reflect the return of optimism and belief under the stewardship of Eddie Howe. As on our previous releases, we also explore names and games from the past. The focus throughout is the supporters’ perspective: from the club mascot of the 1950s, to a young fan attending his first match with his dad; from the fun of French Day at St. James’ Park in 2013, to travelling the length and breadth of England to cheer on the team. This is music by fans, for fans and about fans, linking the past, present and future of our beloved Newcastle United.
The songs are:
The Proudest Magpie
The Toast of Newcastle Now
There That Day
Toon Spirit 2017
Wor Flags
Back on Track
Dream Big
Fabulous Fabian Schär
French Day
Home Debut
Blaydon Dreaming
All songs were written by Alan Millen and Tim Readman except Blaydon Dreaming which uses the melody of The Blaydon Races by Geordie Ridley (Public Domain), rearranged by Tim Readman.
