* BigNameFan: One of Creator/DavidTennant's favourite bands, as can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c6qENWh2jQ here]], and one of two fanclubs Creator/PaulRudd ever joined was theirs.
** The Proclaimers themselves are big-name fans of the [[UsefulNotes/BritishFootyTeams Hibernian Football Club]] and were heavily involved in an effort in the 1990s to save it from a controversial takeover. "Sunshine on Leith" has been adopted as a team anthem for Hibs fans at the field and at pubs across Edinburgh.



* ScheduleSlip: Their output between 1988 and 2001 was pretty sporadic. They only recorded one full-length LP and a few scattered soundtrack-only songs during TheNineties, as they were too busy taking care of their dying father and saving their favorite football team from going under. However, they've been extremely prolific since 2001.
