A special ALL CHRISTMAS Gr80’s show!
Mistletoe and Wine was Cliff Richard’s 99th single, and was his 12th #1, spending four weeks at the top in Dec 1988?
Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney didn’t actually make any reference to Christmas but it’s accompanying video depicted the 1914 Christmas Day truce between British and German soldiers on the Western front.
Walking In the Air got to #5 in 1985. Aled Jones didn’t sing on The Snowman film, that was Peter Auty!
