Here’s to All Our Common Wealth is new song commissioned by Hands Up for Trad and written by Phil Cunningham, Findlay Napier and Alison Burns for the Big Song Relay as part of the Commonwealth Games. This song will be sung all over the country – passed like a baton between choirs in different areas and the aim is to have 40 performances from 40 different choirs to greet the baton carriers as they run the length and breadth of Scotland in the weeks leading up to the opening of the Commonwealth Games on 24th July 2014.

Below are versions of the song in English, Gaelic and Scots including a version with a bagpipe march intro. The march is called Scotland’s Complements to the Commonwealth written by Simon Thoumire.
