The Proclaimers on stage in June 2008. The exposure of the tour won them a January 1987 appearance on the British pop music television programme The Tube on Channel Four; "Letter from America" peaked at number three in the UK Singles Chart, while the album This Is the Story went gold. The follow-up album Sunshine on Leith featured the singles "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles. ", which went to number one in Australia and New Zealand, and "I'm On My Way". They had a hit with their EP King of the Road, which reached number nine in the UK in 1990.

The first album - This is the Story - was recorded in London. Producer John Williams says it was kept intimate. Charlie and Craig recorded most of their takes in the control room," he says.

The Proclaimers 8th Top 40 UK album. The Proclaimers then headed back out live from July through to December this year with 48 sell out dates across the UK and a 13-date tour of Canada from Victoria to Montreal. With producer Steve Evans at the helm, The Proclaimers released their 9th studio album ‘Like Comedy’ in April 2012 to great acclaim by leading independent label Cooking Vinyl.

This is the Story, the Proclaimers first album, puts these two young lads and throws them in the midst of worldwide music. This is the Story definitely means more to those who live or have lived in Scotland than it might to others. The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues ring a bell to me having lived in Scotland for 5 years.
