A short film has been released about the story behind Band Aid.

It has been released to mark the 40th Anniversary of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?'.

This year marks four decades of the Christmas pop song, which went on to launch the greatest series of events in pop history.

Over three separate generations, Band Aid (1984), Band Aid 20 (2004) and Band Aid 30 (2014) were released, causing a monumental “instrument of change”.

Take a look at the short film below.

 

A brand-new 2024 version of ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ was premiered simultaneously across Irish and UK breakfast time radio on 25th November - the 40th anniversary of the recording of the original song.

'Do They Know It’s Christmas? – 2024 Ultimate Mix’ is available to buy now digitally and physically on the Band Aid Compilation 1CD and 12” Vinyl.
