Name Gary Barlow’s new band
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 26 August 2011
As previously reported, Gary Barlow has been putting together a new group to record this year’s Children In Need charity single. Featuring Ed Sheeran, Rizzle Kicks, N-Dubz, Miss Dynamite, Wretch 32, Tinchy Stryder, Mz Bratt and Dot Rotton, they recorded a cover of Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’, produced by Labrinth earlier this week.
Barlow told The Sun: “I think this is a brilliant project. Children In Need has a history of doing upbeat singles with comedians but it’s a serious charity doing a lot of hard work for serious causes. It’s time to do something with artists who young people actually listen to. I’ve done these things before, I’m used to doing group situations, I like it – it’s a challenge. It hasn’t been easy. But bless him, Labrinth and his manager have been the key to the whole thing”.
The single is due out on 13 Nov, but the band doesn’t yet have a name and, frankly, they can’t be bothered even trying. So, if you’ve got any ideas, you should email them over to biz@the-sun.co.uk by midnight and they’ll make the least sweary one the winner.
