A heritage charity will benefit from a multi-star record to commemorate 100 years since World War One Christmas Truce.

Folkestone’s Shorncliffe Trust, along with the British Red Cross, will receive proceeds from a song about British and German soldiers informally making a day’s peace on Christmas Day 1914.

It is a re-recording of the 1990 song All Together Now by pop group The Farm, which tells the story of that day when the soldiers sang carols, exchanged gifts and played football on No Man’s Land.

The record, released on December 15, includes Clash guitarist Mick Jones, Englebert Humperdinck and The Proclaimers , allperforming under the name The Peace Collective.

The trust is looking to build a First World War heritage centre near Shorncliffe Military Cemetary at Hospital Hill, Sandgate.

Trust chairman Chris Shaw said: “We feel humbled and honoured to be included in this amazing project.

“The charity single symbolises the past, present and future and enlightens our understanding and perceptions of the First World War.

“All Together Now by The Peace Collective beautifully commemorates the spirit of the past on that December day in 1914.

“The monies raised will support the great work of the British Red Cross but for the Shorncliffe Trust this is about creating an educational legacy in the future.”

Remaining performers include Alexandra Burke, Guy Chambers, Gorgon City, Gabrielle, Holly Johnson of Frankie Goes to Hollywood, John Power of Cast, Jah Wobble of PiL (Public Image Ltd) , Shara Nelson of Massive Attack and Amelle Berrabah of The Sugarbabes

Also on the recording is Jermain Jackman, this year’s winner of The Voice TV talent show and The Farm themselves.

The Farm are from Liverpool and string and brass are provided by their city’s Liverpool Institute and Performing Arts, originally Paul McCartney and George Harrison’s school.

Executive producer is Madness singer Suggs, who produced the 1990 recording, and the backing choir consists of under-12 English and German football players.
