I also thought it would have been a nice touch to see them there.
My guess is that they didn't anticipate the reaction of the crowds to the song. The ceremonies are planned in detail so far in advance that they didn't want to risk changing anything at the last minute.
That seems like a plausible theory Gary.My guess is that they didn't anticipate the reaction of the crowds to the song. The ceremonies are planned in detail so far in advance that they didn't want to risk changing anything at the last minute.
The night of the closing cerimony, I was on the road and listening to it on 5-Live. All the BBC commentators and pundits were talking as if they expected it. I thought they were lining the listeners up for some sort of surprise reveal.
I suppose, if I hadn't been listening to that, it might never have occurred to me.

Why were "The Proclaimers" not at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony?
Does anyone know?
Because Scotland didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the whole Commonwealth...?Does anyone know?
Do people actually listen to them?
Nothing wrong with many of their songs, nor of singing in your own accent rather than the mid-atlantic accent in most vocals.
'Mon the Proclaimers !
