Band Aid 2004 - Do They Know It’s Christmas

In 2004, a new recording of the Band Aid single was recorded by a new generation of artists.

"The new recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?", written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984, will have all proceeds contributed to The Band Aid Trust. Performed this time by Band Aid 20, so named because it is 20 years since the release of the original recording, the release also features the original recording from 1984. Recorded at Air Studios in London, the revamped version is produced by Nigel Godrich, best known for his work with Radiohead. Midge Ure is the executive producer."
