    1. Was back in Middlesbrough to visit my parents the other week at a pretty intense time, and hearing a song about going back home to Middlesbrough at a really intense time certainly helped.

      RIP, Chris.

      Never realised he was from Middlesborough. I don’t know any of his stuff and Driving Home for Christmas paints a very American picture for me (he literally says freeway at one stage iirc). Class song though, probably my favourite Christmas one. RIP fella.

      An honourary Irishman, with his family background and Shamrock Diaries period here.

      Pancreatic cancer is the worst. Fuck cancer. RIP Chris. Seen him on Gone Fishing a couple of Christmas ago & only learned he was from Middlesborough then. Didn’t know he was of Irish extraction either.

      Always came across as a decent skin in media, and had a decent back catalogue.

      His song Steel River is brilliant, all about the death of the steel industry and the changes it brought….. Brilliant tune, one of many.

      Warm winds blowing
      Heat ’n blue sky
      And a road that goes forever
      I’m going to Texas…

      Enjoy it Chris. X
