Music

Just before the start of today's match between Newcastle United and Everton, what was the piece of music played? I heard it while listening to Radio 5 live chat with Pat Nevin and heard the music in the background...and it sounded like Irish pipes were used on the music. Ta Muchly.

Its '' Local Hero '' by Dire Straits they play it at every Newcastle home game as Mark Knoflar (spelt wrong) the singer came from Newcastle.
