When You’re Smiling – The Final Version

Jersey Budd and his producers have worked their magic in the studio over the last few days and the final recording of ‘When You’re Smiling’ featuring the Leicester City first team is ready to be played.

A collaboration between Soar Media, Jersey Budd and Leicester City Football Club, the concept was to re-create a terrace classic and support the Foxes’ play-off bid.

After visiting Kasabian’s recording studios on Tuesday afternoon, the players added backing vocals to the track with the likes of Paul Gallagher, Richie Wellens and Steve Howard showing particular enthusiasm.

Jersey presented the final version of ‘When You’re Smiling’ to City Chairman Milan Mandaric at the Walkers Stadium yesterday and the song will be played in full for the first time ahead of Sunday’s home game against Middlesbrough.

Jersey Budd’s debut album ‘Wonderlands’ can currently be downloaded for £4.99. This also includes acoustic versions of all ten tracks, meaning 20 songs in total. Click here to download Wonderlands.

    Sounds great! Can't wait to hear it tomorrow – hopefully the whole ground will get involved and we'll finally have an atmosphere at the stadium!

    What a great song. absolutely loved it and reckon that the fans will get behind it once they get to know it. Hope the club continue to play it every game.

    Proper City fans already know the song – and it doesn't sound anything like that. Where have the “Na, na, na, na, nahs” gone for a start?

    I'm not talking about Hey Jude at all. I'm talking about the proper Lestoh version of 'When you're smiling' which City fans have been singing for years, complete with waving arms and fingers. Is this something that you don't know about. I also know the difference between you're and your.
