'Now We're Princes' by Bible Code Sundays
This track is from a highly successful London based Celtic-rock band called 'Bible Code Sundays'. The name reflects the mild lunacy of the band, and is of no particular relevance, other than the fact that they are all Catholics ('Bible-Code') and regularly perform gigs on Sundays!
Coincidentally, my uncle (Andy), who plays button accordion in the band, wrote this song - 'Now We're Princes'. The song highlights the rise of the emigrant communities throughout British history, in particular the Irish emigrant community - concentrating on how they have gone from being marginalised in society to becoming one of the most vibrant cultures in Britain, particularly in London. 'Now We're Princes' is sung by the band's lead singer, Ronan MacManus, who is the younger brother of Declan MacManus (a.k.a. Elvis Costello).
The reason I feel that this song would be an appropriate suggestion for the group's mini pitch is because it offers something original but at the same time contemporary.
