Band Aid 30 – Do They Know It’s Christmas? 2014
On 15th November 2014 some of the UK and Ireland’s biggest-selling pop acts gathered to rerecord Band Aid’s 1984 charity Christmas single. The track has re-tweaked lyrics to reflect the Ebola virus epidemic in west Africa with all proceeds going towards battling what organiser Bob Geldof described as a “particularly pernicious illness because it renders humans untouchable and that is sickening”. This worksheet is a reworking of an earlier contribution from Mena Bianco, Naples.
– I Wish Every Day Could Be Like Christmas – Bon Jovi
A worksheet eliciting Christmas vocabulary, submitted by Maria Gulczynska, Ancona.
– Unforgettable – Nat King Cole
This low level worksheet was written by Roy Boardman, Naples.
