Ken Kessler from the Sounds of Christmas talks about the upcoming 40th anniversary of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”. He talks about the history of the song, and the different line-ups of the four official versions of Band Aid. He also talks about what Bob Geldof and Midge Ure have had to say about it over the years, and the possibility of a Band Aid 40 later this year. Then, just for fun, Ken talks to Sarah from Christmas Spirit News and Scott from the Holly Jolly X’masu podcast about who they’d like to see in the 2024 version of Band Aid!
