This Saturday 15th November, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure will re-record a new version of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' with producer Paul Epworth.

The new single marks the 30th anniversary of the original Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'.

In a press conference this morning, Midge Ure and Bob Geldof, original Band Aid organisers, said all money raised from sales of the single will go towards the fight against Ebola in West Africa. The lyrics of the original song will be tweaked to reflect the challenges affecting today's Africa, with references to hunger taken out. 

One Direction, Jessie Ware, Chris Martin, Bono, Foals, Fuse ODG, Emeli Sande, Sam Smith, Sinead O'Connor, Paloma Faith, Underworld, Adele, Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, Elbow and Roger Taylor are all contributing to the new record.

The single will be recorded this Saturday and released to buy two days later. To ensure that maximum funds are raised for charity, it will not be available to stream on Spotify until January.
