Twentyfive years ago this month, the cream of the British music industry walked into Abbey Road and studios around the UK and recorded an album fornbspWar Childnbspin 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 anbspJohn Lennonnbspquote 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 Saturdayrdquo,nbspPaul McCartney,nbspNoel Gallagher,nbspPaul Wellernbspformed the super groupnbspSmokinrsquo Mojo FiltersnbspandnbspRadiohead, Manic Street Preachers,nbspPortishead,nbspMassive Attack,nbspSuede,nbspThe Charlatansnbspand many more contributed tracks.Go DiscsrsquonbspTony CreannbspandnbspAndy McDonald, press officernbspTerri Hallnbspand others rallied artists, media and the industry to come together in those few days.
Nirvana bassistnbspKrist Novoselicnbspwrote the sleeve notes,nbspJohn Squirenbspdesigned the artwork andnbspJohnny Deppnbspeven 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 pound1.25 million and launched War Child not only asnbspthenbspcharity 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.nbsp It was the starting point of a relationship with the British music industry that has seen some of the worldrsquos 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.You only need look at the news today to see that War Childrsquos work is 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.Since the HELP album, War Childrsquos work with music has gone onto raise more than pound7 million for children in conflict.nbsp
