	Band Aid (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name 'Band Aid' was chosen as a pun on the name of a well known brand of sticking plaster, since it also refers to musicians working as a band to provide aid.
		In 2004, a third line-up, known as Band Aid 20, re-recorded the single for the 20th anniversary of the project.
		The Band Aid 20 single was first played simultaneously on the The Chris Moyles Show (on BBC Radio One) and the breakfast shows on Virgin and Capital radio, at 8am on 16 November 2004.

		Twenty years on, a new generation of rock, pop and RandB stars yesterday cast aside recording schedules and petty rivalries to reconvene Band Aid under the avuncular gaze of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, the songwriters and organisers who created a seminal moment in pop history and raised millions for famine relief in Africa.
		The first Band Aid single raised £8m in aid for Africa and kick-started Live Aid, the global pop concert which raised more than £60m for charity.

		The interesting thing about Band Aid 20 is not the squabble over who got to sing the Bono line, but the whole commentator industry that has sprung up around it.
		A brief trawl through the internet and I find several blog entries about the song (here, here, here, and here) an amusing recount of what happened to Band Aids 3-19 (oddly, the 1989 SAW-stars collaboration seems to have been erased from charity record history) and the WDM's own slightly more po-faced rewritings of the lyrics.
		If we give handouts every 20 years or so, then there's no need to feel bad about how cheap our unfairly traded food is. Not to mention that part of our economy is based on arms sales, often to despotic regimes who are not particularly interested in ensuring famine is eradicated.

		You want this record to succeed, because you feel for the plight of the refugees in the Darfur region of Sudan and this project is funding aid projects on their behalf.
		The acts on the list for this new disc so far cannot be said to be cutting edge like those on Band Aid 20, so it reeks of bandwagon-jumping and career-boosting in the most vile sense.
		Band Aid 20 made sense because people weren't donating enough to help in Darfur, and probably still aren't.

		I think the ‘Coventry Carol’ is probably a superior piece of music to Band Aid 20, when all’s said and done.
		I’m told that the whooping and clapping at the end of the song is mostly Snow Patrol, so Band Aid 20 is at least notable for recording the band’s very first emotion.
		It seems that Apple won’t be selling Band Aid 20 via the iTunes store - apparently they’re unhappy that they’d have to raise the price of the track from the usual 79p.
