English Teacher share Chatham Dockyard live video for ‘Not Everybody Gets To Go To Space’

This year’s Mercury Prize winners English Teacher have rounded off 2024 by sharing a new live performance video for ‘Not Everybody Gets To Go To Space’, a track lifted from their superlative debut album ‘This Could Be Texas’. 

Shot between Chatham’s historic dockyard and Dungeness beach, the Simon Lane-directed visualiser takes the ‘Fisherman Aesthetic’ as its inspiration - one of the key style trends predicted for 2025 by Pinterest, which the platform has defined us “a new laid-back maritime attitude with cable-knit sweaters, striped tops, and sardine tattoos”.

The band were given creative free rein to interpret the brief in their own way, with Lane commenting that: “The aim was to create a fisherman aesthetic for Pinterest, letting that guide every creative decision, from the epic dockyard location through to styling - you can see Lily’s lobster knitwear and art direction with lobster pots, buoys and fishing nets; we had a lot of fun making it!”
