1st day of December and I will be counting down my 25 favourite Christmas songs ... One a day til the 25th. Do They Know It’s Christmas? will get another festive makeover, when stars from the music world collaborate for the 30th anniversary of Band Aid. Boomtown Rats frontman Sir Bob Geldof and Ultravox’s Midge Ure, who together wrote the track, are expected to announce the lineup for this year’s offering on Monday. The song, performed almost entirely by British and Irish musicians, was originally released in 1984 to raise £8m for famine-hit Ethiopia. It has since been re-recorded in 1989 and 2004. The original supergroup featured Bananarama, George Michael and Duran Duran, as well as U2 frontman Bono – the only singer to perform the same line in both the original and most-recent versions.
