A bit annoying for the MacDonalds?
The Comic Relief release of 500 miles by The Proclaimers is surely a bit of an annoyance to The MacD brothers isn't it? If they are releasing an album I would have thought that they would want to include the song that gave them the most positive response of all on the X Factor.
And now they have been pipped to the post by the original artists! How frustrating for them. |

They can still include it on their album and most likely will. Might be annoying but there's nothing they can do if the original artists wanted to re-release it.

Why? The song is only one track on an album. I think their single is Shang a lang. The album is doing well in pre order sales without any publicity compared to the amount of media Ben and Ray did.
I dont think the boys will be worried, they are aiming for a different market. |

I am sure they will still do splendidly, but it would have been marvellous if they'd released it as a single. it's still on their album though.

yeah that would have been the obv choice for a single but no point releasing it now so shang a lang wil be released instead!
Album is doing great in pre order though and with there 2 weeks album signing tour should get quite a lot of sales hopefully! But yeah like someone said they have had barely no publicity compared to ben and ray so good on em for trying there damnest and making scotland proud! |

Yes, but I often visit Primark at weekends to look for Eton Rod.

hello. I didn't even notice you'd gone. Are you going to buy Eton Rod's album as well as the MacDonald Brothers'?

They do! I absolutely loved their first audition! Shame about I Don't Feel Like Dancing but I blame Louis Walsh for that!

its possible that they were told they could cover it but not release it, the procalimers were on this morning earlier in the week and said peter kay approached them last summer, prob well before the x factor was televised so its unlikely they would give permission to release it knowing it was going to be rereleased anyway
