The Barry Horns has released an original track in time for the 2016 European Championships.

'This is Wales' features a robotic voice name checking cities, towns and villages across the country from Bangor to Bridgend and from Newtown to Narberth.

Recorded at Brass Knuckle Studios in Cardiff, This is Wales is the band’s second single. Their previous release was a cover of ‘Only You’ in December 2013 with proceeds going to cancer charity Prostate Cymru.

Listen to the track in full here:

The band are best known for transforming pop songs into terrace anthems in chants of ‘Hal Robson Kanu’ to the tune of Salt N Pepa’s ‘Push it’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody like Joe Ledley’ to Rufus and Chaka Khan’s ‘Ain’t Nobody’ – but this is the first time the band have recorded an original track.

This is Wales is available via iTunes from 1 June.
