Band Aid 30

30 years ago, Bob Geldof and Midge Ure gathered some of the most popular musicians at the time to collaborate on a charity single to raise money to support those suffering from a famine in Ethiopia, and other anti-poverty projects.
This weekend, a new generation of musicians (and some of those from the original Band Aid single) gathered in the same studio to record a new version of the song, to fund efforts to support those affected by Ebola
The lyrics were released and variously tweeted out in advance of the recording.

Ooh just got hold of the new words ... Do you think they'll let me have a line? #BandAid30 pic.twitter.com/aJXU22FWLf

This could make a task for students to rewrite the original lyrics, with the message of supporting those affected by the spread of the disease. Or perhaps another theme altogether...
