Band Aid 30: One Direction, Ed Sheeran & More - "Do They Know It's Christmas?" [Music Video]
Watch the likes of One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Bono, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith and many more (the majority names of the UK-Ireland music scene) cover the classic holiday song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, in the newly-released music video below! Sir Bob Geldof is the man responsible for gathering this impressive list of top musicians - whose mission was to give “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” a modern spin and digitally release the cover as single, making all the proceeds go to the Ebola relief cause. Ebola is terribly affecting select countries in Western Africa and the music industry is trying to help in the best way they can; using their voices.
“Do They Know It’s Christmas?”, will be out on iTunes UK on November 18.
“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” video review
The music video is a “performance” music video. All the invited musicians met at a recording studio in London to work on this cover and the video below is footage of this meeting. Who got the best parts in the song? Emeli Sandé shines really bright, and Rita Ora got the power bridge!
