English Teacher share live video shot in the Historic Dockyard, Chatham & Dungeness Beach for “Not Everybody Gets To Go To Space”
In collaboration with Pinterest Predicts 2025
Debut album ‘This Could Be Texas’ winner of the 2024 Mercury Prize
English Teacher share a special live performance video as part of the Pinterest Predicts 2025 series which sees the Mercury Prize winning Leeds band perform their song “Not Everybody Gets To Go To Space”.
The Simon Lane directed video is inspired by the Fisherman Aesthetic which Pinterest predicts will be one of the style trends for 2025. The group were assigned creative control to bring their interpretation of the aesthetic to life in a video set against the vast backdrop of The Historic Dockyard, Chatham & Dungeness Beach.
On the video, director Simon Lane says:

On Fisherman Aesthetic Pinterest outline: Gen Z and Gen X are riding the wave of a new laid-back maritime attitude with cable-knit sweaters, striped tops, and sardine tattoos. Yes, it’s true: Searches are soaring for sardine tattoos. Everything’s fishy here.
