The Power of Four

"The Power of Four" is a joint anthem for the four Home Nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland (where Ireland refers to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland). It was composed by Neil Myers.

It is used mainly during events on the rare occasions where the countries are represented as one entity, and therefore using the national anthem of either the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland would be unsuitable.

It was first performed by Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins before the British and Irish Lions rugby union match against Argentina at the Millennium Stadium in 2005.

It is always sung in English, and there are as yet no versions in the other languages spoken in the Home Nations.
