Come on England

In the autumn of 2003 Steve Fox, (nephew to the late John Botrill, original Dexy's drummer), Created the New Anthem, A re-make of the smash hit single "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Neil Murray (singer) from London, Dan Warwick (bass) from London, Mark Millin (percussion) from London, Phil Doleman (banjo) from Derbyshire, Mark Knight (violin) from the south coast, Lucy Wills (trumpet/vocals) from Shrewsbury and Scot Jimmy McCafferty (yes, a Scot on the England anthem!) on drums.

The demo was recorded under a railway arch in Bermondsey and attracted the attention of London label Gut records, at the beginning of 2004. Re-recorded in the Black country (home of Dexy's) in April 2004, it was quickly adopted by TalkSPORT as their Euro 2004 signature tune. Add a couple of page 3 girls, support from the Sun and the rest is history. Up the charts we went!
