Tom Hark by the Piranhas and The Fratellis’ Chelsea Dagger have both been used as Town’s goal celebration music in recent seasons but now the search is on for a local artist or band to create a new piece of music to accompany the inevitable post-goal jumping around and screaming.

With music copyright laws changing, clubs are facing increased demands for fees and royalties, therefore Town and a number of other clubs are looking to provide their own music for goal celebrations.

This is an opportunity to not only give the Blues fans a new piece of celebration goal music, but also give a budding or established artist or band a great chance to gain media attention and put themselves on the musical map locally.

Those interested in providing material, which should consist of a piece of music about 30-45 seconds long, should send it to Barry Calver, who is on the Supporters' Club's media committee, at the address below before January 31st 2011.

After this cut-off date, depending on the number received, the entries will be played at half-time in two or three home games later in the season to gain supporters’ general opinion.

Town will then call on fans to make the final decision by casting their votes via the matchday programme and various websites.

All entries to be sent on a CD to:

Attn: Barry Calver

Greybritain added 11:29 - Nov 23 I am sending him a note asking that the fans can also have 'No Music' as one of the options in the voting process.

arc added 11:29 - Nov 23 1.) Get rid of the music–it kills the atmosphere 2.) Someone needs to take Steve Earle's "My Old Friend the Blues," transpose it into a magic key, speed up the tempo, and adjust the lyrics very slightly.

MyBlueHeaven added 11:32 - Nov 23 how about john cale's 4' 33"? in other words, let's follow Torquay's lead and put an end to this nonsense. utterly pointless. it's got to the stage that when (sorry, if... ) we score a goal we're dancing around to the tune and not the fact that we've just got a goal. in fact, i've got an idea... let's send in blank CDs to Barry Calver. don't tell him there's nothing on them of course - he'll have to 'listen' to them all. so he'll soon get tired of putting on all the blanks, will give up all together and hopefully the club will get the hint.

DoobDude added 11:36 - Nov 23 None needed, rather they played music when the opposition score. Drowns out their cheering.

southa05 added 12:01 - Nov 23 Do you ever hear music when Liverpool, Barcelona or AC Milan score??? I hate having fans drowned out by an overplayed track. It cheapens Portman Road and Ipswich Town

HuntingdonBlue added 12:06 - Nov 23 If people don't want music, someone submit silence and then everyone else vote for it when it is played at the game...

fatboyakasha added 12:11 - Nov 23 How about local band The Cheek. They are from round here and I know they all support Ipswich. This is their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/thecheekmusic?v=app_178091127385&ref=ts I reckons the chorus of 'Do Nothing' or 'Just One Night' will do the trick very nicely.

greenkingtone added 12:13 - Nov 23 Very witty Jay and pitseablue. I creased. Get rid of the dreadful music at the start and after goals. Hardly anyone sings and the clapping in time is an embarrassment.

petermorris added 12:19 - Nov 23 Get rid of the pointless music, and get rid of the recently pointless 'manager'!!

chevblue added 12:21 - Nov 23 Goal celebration music, for me, epitomizes everything that is wrong with the modern game. Shame on you Barry (Felixstowe Branch Chairman) Calver for getting involved in its perpetuation.

MarkITFC added 12:27 - Nov 23 i think we should play ' my way ' before just before kick off ?? bit like liverpool with never walk alone

BlueVelvet added 12:36 - Nov 23 Lets have a few goals first. Saw this morning a few workman climbing the floodlight gantries at PR - probably installing rose tinted glass over the floodlights! Why don't ITFC just play the sound of fans cheering, in fact why not play this sort of sound throughout matches (like the canned laughs on sit coms) - it'll be needed soon as crowd numbers drop

bluelady added 12:42 - Nov 23 how about a new song along the lines of nelly the elephant? Roy Keane packed his bags and said goodbye to the town fans, of he went in a terrible mood with a grump grump grump???

Ballistic added 12:43 - Nov 23 it can't be costing us to much.. we don't score that much. How about? I think I bet leave right now before we fall any deeper?
