Players usually first require walk on music for county matches although some now use it as early as county youth games.
It is better to find your own rather than let somebody else choose it. I've seen people have terrible games after being embarrassed by their walk on. Imagine walking on to "Mr Blobby" when you're already conscious of your weight!
I chose this tune for my walk on. As well as liking it, I know the Inspiral Carpets lead singer - Stephen Holt. We were in the same class at school. They are a local band from my home town. The song is also catchy - which is important.
This is a live version, I had the recorded single for my walk on as the sound quality is always greater.
Here are some of the professionals entering the fray:
How to choose walk on music - Some choose to suit their name, a good example being Mervyn King who uses "Bow down to the King".
Others choose to suit their nickname - probably the most heard tune being "I've got the Power" used by Phil "The Power" Taylor.
Tony O'Shea uses, "Hey Baby" which doesn't have a direct reference to him until the crow change the lyrics to "Hey Tony".
Adrian Lewis uses tunes without lyrics, his starts with "Papa's got a Brand New Pigbag" which is catchy enough without words.
A more subtle approach is by John Part. He uses the Star Wars Theme to go with his nickname which refers to his Canadian Nationality and Star Wars - Darth Maple.
