Ebola fundraiser - Worthy cause

Thirty years after the original Band Aid was launched to raise money to feed the world, a new recording has been made with the aim of helping the battle against ebola.

Stars, including the indefatigable Bob Geldof, who is again organising this worthy cause, have come together once more to form a powerful choir to raise funds for another deserving charity.

Among those behind the reworked version of ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ are such names from the world of pop music as One Direction, Bono, Emeli Sande, Rita Ora, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith, and Chris Martin. True to form, Bob Geldof has challenged the German government to put money towards this praise-worthy project.
