To mark the centenary of the Christmas day truce that famously resulted in a football match played out between the opposing armed forces in no mans land, The Peace Collective are paying dues to this famous moment where human spirit and common sense for once overcame the pain and hate of war by covering The Farm’s classic ‘All Together Now’ with all the proceeds from record sales going to British Red Cross and the Shorncliffe Trust.
The collective an all star gathering of Suggs, Julian Lennon, Jah Wobble, I am Kloot, David Gray, Holly Johnson, members of The Zutons and Reverend and the Makers all assisted and aided by an U-12 choir made up of English and German football players. The new version arrives removed of the originals bruised ache and warmly glowed monochrome framing instead coming adorned with a readily more funky mind set and seemingly more jubilant and upbeat than its predecessor all the time trimmed to a stirring gospel sway. You can pre order the single by texting ‘GET PEACE’ to 84222.
