Hue and Cry, led by the talented Pat and Greg, have been delighting fans since their early days as blue-eyed soul musicians. Remember hits like Looking for Linda and Ain't Going to Work for You No More?

Today, we're diving into none other than the unforgettable Stop the Cavalry by Jona Lewie. Released in 1980, this track stands out due to its unexpected blend of holiday cheer and deep-rooted anti-war sentiments. Oddly enough, despite its popularity, the song was banned by BBC Radio One in 1990, as the BBC feared it might upset listeners, given the global situation of the time. Instant classic? Absolutely!
