Cornish singers, musicians and entertainers have come together to record Cornwall\u2019s version of the Band Aid charity single \u2018Do They Know it\u2019s Christmas\u2019.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 1984 Christmas megahit \u2018Feed The World (Do They Know it\u2019s Christmas)\u2019 has been transformed into \u2018Feed Cornwall\u2019, a song and music video to help increase awareness of food poverty in the county where Routenote HQ is based. The single will raise funds to support struggling local families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singers in the ‘Chaos Collective’ include Molly Hocking, 2019 winner of The Voice<\/em>. Local band The Stowes provide the backing track, whilst Bailey Tomkinson and Will Keating, entertainer Johnny Cowling, Josh Curnow, Susie Mac, Matthew Thompson, Rev Andrew Yates and radio presenter Tiffany Truscott, together with staff from the CHAOS Group<\/span>, complete the Cornish supergroup. And Don Gardner from the Camborne, Pool and Redruth Foodbank appears, having made headlines<\/span> after featuring on Cornwall with Simon Reeve<\/a><\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track sounds great, with impeccable production and gorgeous vocals, and even a bluegrass-style breakdown towards the end. Music producer Gareth Young volunteered the use of the CUBE studio in Perranporth<\/a> to record the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I am very proud that the CUBE is supporting this fantastic project,\u2019 Young said. \u2018I was delighted to be able to offer our help. I would encourage everyone in Cornwall to watch the video and make a donation<\/a> to help local people who are in need.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song and video came from an idea by The CHAOS Group<\/a>, who work to support everyone in the Cornish community. The impact of the Covid 19 pandemic has driven many more people to food banks and during the past few months CHAOS staff have provided support to many hundreds of local families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They hope viewers of the video will give generously \u2013 funds raised will be managed by Cornwall Community Foundation<\/a>, to support projects working with families across Cornwall who experience food isolation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
