With her unique voice and sense of style, Chrissie Hynde has been one of rock’s most iconic stars since the punk era, when she first formed The Pretenders back in 1978. With Chrissie at the forefront, the band combined credibility with chart success. The best of their performances at the BBC over the years are featured, from their number one hit Brass in Pocket to classics like I'll Stand By You, Don't Get Me Wrong and the enduring Christmas hit 2000 Miles.\n\nThe collection also includes Chrissie's work outside the band, featuring performances with Rufus Wainwright, Neneh Cherry and Cher, and of course her old mates UB40 - the group she helped propel to chart success - and their huge hits Breakfast in Bed and I Got You Babe.
