The Scot­tish Foot­ball Sup­port­ers Asso­ci­ation, SFSA, and Finn Moray have joined forces to launch a unique oppor­tun­ity for SFSA mem­bers, a nation­wide search for the live singer who will become the World Cup voice of The Bard.

The announce­ment fol­lows dis­cus­sion on BBC Radio Scot­land Off the Ball with Stu­art Cos­grove and Tam Cowan, fea­tur­ing SFSA Dir­ector and Scot­land inter­na­tional Dave McPh­er­son along­side Finn Moray cre­ator David Sheret.

The part­ner­ship has also been cham­pioned by BBC radio and TV presenter Richard Gor­don.

The Bard #2 is fea­tured on Finn Moray’s debut album, AON: THE CALL, and has been selec­ted as the SFSA’s offi­cial World

Cup song.

SFSA and Finn Moray are now call­ing on the Tartan Army to bring for­ward the voice that can carry the track into the tour­na­ment, from ter­races and sup­port­ers clubs to screens and sound sys­tems across the cam­paign.

Alex­an­der Gibb, Project Man­ager at the SFSA, said: “Sup­porter cul­ture is built on belong­ing and shared voice.

“This is a chance to find a singer from within our own com­munity who can rep­res­ent the Tartan Army with authen­ti­city."

“We want SFSA mem­bers to nom­in­ate someone who can turn a great song into a moment that travels with Scot­land.”

David Sheret, cre­ator of Finn Moray, said: “The Bard #2 was made for that feel­ing when thou­sands become one voice.

“For SFSA to choose it as the offi­cial World Cup song is a huge hon­our. Now we want the Tartan Army to bring for­ward a live singer who can make it unfor­get­table, and do it in a way that shares value back to good causes.”

To nom­in­ate a singer, SFSA mem­bers should fol­low three simple steps.

First, be a mem­ber of the SFSA; second, buy AON: THE CALL on down­load, CD, or vinyl; third, email your nom­in­a­tion to finn@fin­nmoray.com and alex­an­der@ scot­tishfsa.org includ­ing your name and SFSA mem­ber­ship num­ber, the nom­inee’s name, loc­a­tion and con­tact details, a short note on why they should be the World Cup voice of The Bard #2, plus a per­form­ance link if avail­able, even a phone video is help­ful.

Nom­in­a­tions close at noon on Sat­urday, Feb­ru­ary 28. Short­l­is­ted sing­ers will be con­tac­ted with audi­tion details.
