Over The Moon: Pride Of A Nation is the brainchild of HJ21’s vocalist and songwriter Matt Fielder who was deeply impressed by the courage of the cancer patients he came into contact with through regular guest appearances on Radio Marsden. Matt wanted to do something positive for the hospital and its patients, and being a keen football fan, decided to record an England song with his band in aid of the Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign. This standard Rock track has competent lyrics that give a firm message of support for England and were inspired by a young patient who reminded Matt what it was like to be a 9 year old dreaming of England glory and the ultimate disappointment realized when the team failed to qualify for the ’74 World Cup. Has been adopted by the England Supporters Club so it's in with a chance of terrace exposure.

Sick As A Parrot: The vocals occasionally get a bit lost in the production.

Terrace Appeal: 7/10
