Nottingham's LadBaby have become the first act in history to release a rework of Band Aid's historic 1984 hit Do They Know it's Christmas? Social media star Mark Hoyle and his wife Roxanne - known as LadBaby Mum - have teamed up with MoneySavingExpert’s Martin Lewis to rework the song which they've called Food Aid.
The couple, who live in West Bridgford, have become the first ever act allowed to rework the hit Band Aid song, which in its original form was organised by Bob Geldof and featured contributions from the likes of Boy George, George Michael and Bono. The record went to No. 1 straight away in the UK singles chart and sold a million copies in its first week, raising millions for famine relief in Ethiopia.
Married couple Mark and Roxanne teamed up with Grammy winner Amy Wadge, who has previously worked with Ed Sheeran and Sam Ryder, to rewrite the festive song. The Hoyles have raised more than £1.2 million for the Trussell Trust through their chart-topping endeavours and branded partnerships, but said they are committed to doing even more as the cost-of-living crisis worsens.
