[ALBSA-Info] National Anthem in England - Albania match

Asylum seekers help out with Albanian anthem
A soprano asked to sing at England's World Cup qualifier was taught the Albania national anthem minutes before kick-off by two asylum seekers.

Suzannah Clarke contacted the Albanian embassy earlier in the day to get the words, but they couldn't help.

A local refugee centre sent two asylum seekers to the ground and they sang the anthem 28 times until Suzannah learned it off by heart.

The 31-year-old said: "The Albanian anthem certainly proved to be a bit difficult as even the embassy didn't have the words.

"I was getting a bit desperate. They [the asylum seekers] were absolutely superb. They were quick to put me right on a few things."

Their training paid off and the singer performed a word-perfect version of Hymni Kombeter (Hymn to the Flag) before the match in Newcastle, reports The Sun.
