Band Aid 20

Well, after all the hype, it has finally been recorded for the third time, and twenty years after the original. Forty eight people turned up on the day, plus pre-recorded parts were to be added by Robbie Williams and Dido who couldn't be there. Here is the BBC's blog of the day.

There was almost handbags at dawn over Bono's original line "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you", and Justin Hawkins of The Darkness apparently recorded it and claimed his was better. Some radio stations announced that his version was to be used, but other reports state that Bono flew into london last night to sing it again.
