Musical Boost for Bolton Wanderers
Bolton Wanderers Football Club has commissioned 'Enter Our Heroes' from Paul Lovatt-Cooper, who is a life-long Wanderers fan, in a bid to boost their Sky Bet League One season. Paul came up with the idea when he was renewing his season ticket and now hopes it will give both the team and the crowd a musical boost before kick-off. Paul explained, "It's been such a difficult 18 months for everyone, but I wanted to try and give the team a boost ahead of what I think will be a great season for them. There is a real buzz of optimism about the club and the fans are all eager to give the team extra support. That's why I came up with the idea in the recording studio — so the team can feel it as soon as they walk out of the tunnel. As a lifelong fan I channelled all my passion into this new work and wanted to compose a piece of music that will help inspire and motivate both the players and the fans at the start of every game."
Bolton's Chairperson Sharon Brittan is certainly delighted it and added: "Music is very important to so many people, and when we first heard the composition, we were incredibly moved. The passion he has put into this work is stunning and with supporters returning to the stadium for the first time in over 18 months, we felt it was important that a brand new piece of music was played as the players enter the pitch. I am sure everybody will love it." That includes Wanderers manager Ian Evatt who said: "The passion Paul has for the club is clearly represented in this inspiring piece of music. I was fortunate to listen to it alongside my staff and we all loved it. We are all looking forward to the start of the season and I know that this music will be a fitting soundtrack to our campaign."
'Enter Our Heroes' was given its world premiere last Saturday as Wanderers drew 3-3 against MK Dons in their first game of the new season.
