At home, they listened to early rock ‘n’ roll and country greats such as Jerry Lee Lewis, Merle Haggard and Hank Williams. At school they played in punk bands and formed The Proclaimers in 1983.

Among the many tracks they have recorded the most famous are “500 Miles”, “I’m Gonna Be”, “Sunshine on Leith”, “I’m On My Way” and “Letter from America”.
