The Pretenders - "2000 Miles" (1983)
Released in November 1983, the British/American band was moderately successful at No15 in the UK charts with this song about the death of their guitarist in 1982.
However, despite being a song dedicated to the loss of a friend, it has since become a popular British Christmas anthem.
Chrissie Hynde famously fronts the band. Born in Ohio, she has since become a British citizen...

Jona Lewie - "Stop the Cavalry" (1980)
This heart-wrenching tale based on true events relates the story of a young British soldier in a trench in WWI at Christmas longing to get back to the girl he loves as he ducks German machine gun fire.
The song highlights the pointlessness and tragedy of a war which killed millions of young men over a few miles of Flanders mud.
Despite the dark lyrics, the song has become a Bit ritish Christmas anthem...

English Teacher - "Not Everybody Gets to Go to Space" (2024)
The new single from the Leeds rockers.
English Teacher teamed up with Pinterest to help launch the 2025 Pinterest Predicts trends. The 'Fisherman Aesthetic' was brought to life by English Teacher in their live performance of 'Not Everybody Gets to Go to Space'.
Stan Rogers died sitting on a plane being refueled that burst into flames and exploded. After that they made people deboard before fueling.
Cincinnati, 1976 iirc
'83. Reports had it that he was assisting in evacuation of the plane when he was overcome.
Miss him. Never understood why Canadian folk singers (the Rogerses, Gordon Lightfoot) were all such beautiful baritones, while Yank folk singers (Dylan, Seeger, Ochs) all sounded like they were in the terminal phase of emphysema.
The Darkness - "I Hate Myself" (2024)
The brand new single from the glam rockers from Lowestoft, Suffolk. Lowestoft is the most easterly settlement in the UK and is also famous for being the home of The Darkness.
