This episode is all about the Band-Aid Number 1 - "Do They Know It's Christmas Time", written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, it reached applause and fame after it's release in November of 1984, and was covered 3 more times with 3 different messages attached over the years; next year celebrating 40 years since it's original release.
I also spoke to Adam from Merry Britsmas about our love for Christmas from the UK, why he decided to create Merry Britsmas and what inspired him. We go through his favourite UK Christmas song and favourite UK Christmas TV special.
