With frontman Martin at the piano, they performed their No1 hit Viva La Vida as well as their most recent release All My Love.

They also chose a cover - and it's one with a major influence from the world of Scottish football!

All Piano Room guests get the chance to perform a cover, and Coldplay chose to do their own version of Sunshine On Leith.

The Proclaimers track is, of course, synonymous with Hibs with the fans belting out the song at every home game.

Singer Martin revealed he had NEVER heard the song before - and neither had the band's Scottish bass player Guy Berryman!

Martin also revealed he'd watched the song being performed by the Hibs fans after hearing it for the first time.

He told host Jo Whiley: "This cover that Guy sent me three days ago - he said 'listen to this song by The Proclaimers.' And I'd never heard it before.

"It blew me away. I'd never heard it before.

"Then I watched the Hibernian fans singing it in the terraces and it just gets me so much that song."

Berryman then said: "I'd never heard it before either and I'm Scottish!"

Martin exclaimed: "You're from there!"

Berryman, who comes from Kirkcaldy, then explained how he came to be listening to the track just days before the Radio 2 session.

He explained: "I was listening to it in the bath three days ago and when it got to the second verse I was like kind of like 'oh, this is a serious song.'

"By the time it got to the chorus I was crying.

"I got to the end of it and I said to myself, if I liten to it again I wonder if it'll have the same reaction.

"So I did it again and the same thing happened. And by the third listen, I was in the bath howling. It's just one of those perfectly simple songs and I can't believe I'd never heard it before."

He then revealed how the song came on while he was listening through Spotify.

Martin then added: "There is a whole other world of music behind that song that I've just been discovering, and they're a wonderful, wonderful band.

"Now we live in the age of coolness doesn't mean anything, just quality and soul. The Proclaimers make more sense than ever.

"This song is so astonishingly good and we're going to butcher it right now!"

The cover went down a storm with fans on social media.

The Radio 2 Instagram page posted a clip of the performance with fans flooding the comments.

One said: "It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written, guaranteed to make me cry every time I hear it!"

A second posted: "Love this song and their cover is beautiful."

A third said: "Oh my gosh I wasn't prepared for this at all!"
