Do They Know It's Christmas 30 Years Later?

I'll be including this in my music video round up but I thought this was worthy of a post on it's own.  Band Aid 30 has come together after weeks of rumors, lineup changes, and schedule commitments.

The song sounds as uplifting as the original and I am personally VERY happy with the cause and outcome.  It's that song that everyone knows from the moment you hear the first note on the radio.  It's the one that reminds people that there is more to the holiday season than present exchanges.  So finally the video has hit the online world, and AFGM couldn't be happier.  Check it out!



The star studded lineup includes the following artists:

Bastille, Bono (from U2), Clean Bandit, Disclosure, Elbow, Paloma Faith, Fuse ODG, Nick Grimshaw, Ellie Goulding, Angelique Kidjo, Chris Martin (from Coldplay), Olly Murs, Sinead O'Connor, One Direction, Rita Ora, Emeli Sande, Seal, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Underworld, and Jessie Ware.  Tracey Emin was to contributor for the Band Aid 30 album artwork which is shown below.

"World renowned artist Tracey Emin contributed to the BandAid30 efforts by lending creative flair in the form of the official single artwork.

From the world of music, entertainment, and art, many have gathered & united to lend their support to a global issue. Whether it’s the artists on the single, the producers behind the sound or the team behind the content, we as a collective want more of you to Reach Out and support #BandAid30…" - Band Aid

So be sure to show some love during this time of the season and to think of others who need the support.  Order the song through Band Aid's website.
