Twenty-five years ago this month, the
cream of the
British music industry walked into
Abbey Road and
studios around the UK and recorded an
album for
War Child in response to the plight of
the thousands
of families caught up in the bloody
Balkans war.
It went onto become the most legendary
charity
album of all time. Inspired by a John
Lennon quote
"The best record you can make, is
recorded on
Monday, cut on Tuesday, pressed up on
Wednesday, packaged on Thursday,
distributed on
Friday, in the shops on Saturday”, Paul
McCartney,
Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller formed the
super group
Smokin’ Mojo Filters and Radiohead,
Manic Street
Preachers, Portishead, Massive Attack,
Suede, The
Charlatans and many more contributed
tracks.
Go! Discs’ Tony Crean and Andy
McDonald, press
officer Terri Hall and others rallied
artists, media and
the industry to come together in those
few days.
Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic wrote
the sleeve
notes, John Squire designed the artwork
and
Johnny Depp even popped in to play
guitar.
Within 24 hours, 20 tracks had been
recorded and it
was in store five days later selling
70,000 copies in
its first day. The album went on to
make £1.25
million and launched War Child not only
as the
charity for British music, but more
importantly, the
only charity who specialise in
protecting, educating
and supporting children in war.
The difference this album made for War
Child
cannot be over emphasised. It was the
starting point
of a relationship with the British music industry that
has seen some of the world’s biggest
artists come
together - but more importantly, it has
enabled War
Child to reach more than a million
children caught in
the crossfire of war over the last 20
years.
more important than ever. Four million Syrian refugees have fled the
conflict, two million of these are children, some of whom are alone,
all of whom are terrified and traumatised by what they have seen.
