David Brooks, a 70-year-old resident of Australia with roots in Bury, England, has collaborated with The Musicmen to release a heartfelt track, “I’m A Lad From Bury”. Written and produced by Trevor Carter at Empire Records in Melbourne, Australia, the song captures Brooks’ deep connection to his beloved hometown and its football culture.
Brooks’ soccer career began at Bury FC, where he went toe-to-toe with legendary footballer Sir Bobby Charlton at Gigg Lane. Despite not reaching the highest level of professional soccer, Brooks persevered and eventually was offered a three-year contract to play for Ringwood City in Australia.
The Musicmen, led by Brooks, gained significant attention across Australian television screens after a captivating performance on Hey Hey It’s Saturday’s Red Faces. They further shined through in a memorable TV Toheey’s Beer advertisement and the release of a top 20 album titled “What Can You Play” under Mushroom Records, which led to performing at the Ashes Lunch break on The MCG & SCG and appearing at The Australian Music Awards with Will Smith, Terence Trent Derby & Kim Wilde!
The song, “I’m A Lad From Bury”, expresses Brooks’ unwavering love for his hometown and his hopes for the resurgence of Bury FC. With the aspiration of seeing them return to the football league someday, Brooks stated, “You Can Take The Lad Out Of Bury But Can’t Take Bury Out Of The Lad!”
“I’m A Lad From Bury” by The Musicmen is now available for streaming on Spotify and for purchase on iTunes.
