Also a fan of his race driving and cars. Thanks for the wonderful music which has forged so many happy and great memories in mine and many other peoples lives. Keep fighting on Sir.

    Chris Rea's Driving Home For Christmas has been my favourite Christmas song for years. We always used to play that at the end of our last market (selling cheeses) before Christmas with both my sons. So it brings me great joy and always brings a few tears as well. You can never hear enough Chris Rea. He is the best.
