Listen Now
For Stevie Palmer, music has always been about capturing moments that stay with people long after the final note. With his new single “Here We Go,” the Edinburgh singer-songwriter transforms decades of memories, family traditions and Scottish football passion into an anthem built around hope, belonging and the belief that dreams can still come true.
A song rooted in personal history, Here We Go reflects Palmer’s lifelong connection to football — from childhood memories of being lifted over the turnstiles at Easter Road with his father to later sharing unforgettable victories with his own sons at Hampden. It is a story of generations, of the moments that shape us, and of the emotions that connect communities.
Inspired by Scotland’s long relationship with the World Cup, Palmer revisits the optimism of the 1970s, when young supporters dreamed of seeing their country achieve football’s greatest success. Those dreams, although never fully realised for his generation, continue through the next.
That spirit sits at the heart of Here We Go — a song that celebrates every supporter who has ever believed that Scotland’s defining football moment could still be ahead.
Beyond the football connection, the track highlights what has made Stevie Palmer one of Scotland’s most respected contemporary singer-songwriters. With two critically acclaimed albums released through Greentrax Recordings, Palmer has earned praise from leading folk and roots publications including Scotland on Sunday, Maverick Magazine, The Living Tradition, and fRoots Magazine.
His music has reached audiences across the UK and internationally, receiving support from radio stations including BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio 2, Celtic Music Radio and stations overseas.
Known for his ability to combine emotional storytelling with a distinctive voice, Palmer has been described by Folkworld Magazine as “a wonderful singer-songwriter with a remarkable voice,” while acclaimed Scottish musician Mairi Campbell has praised him as “one of Scotland’s finest songwriters.”
With Here We Go, Stevie Palmer delivers more than a football song — he creates a soundtrack for memories, dreams and the generations of fans who continue to sing, support and believe.
