Talking of charity type things, an alternative to the Band Aid project is in the pipeline which will see musicians from across the mod scene come together to record a charity record - no,
I kid thee not.
**Mod
Aid** actually began back in 1985 when, shortly after the original
Band Aid, the mod world released a charity version of the track
'All Or Nothing'. With Band Aid repeating their venture twenty years later, Mod Aid 20 is now about to kick off. Ronnie Wood,
Steve Cradock and Mark Joseph are among the names so far confirmed to be talking part in the project - they and others will record covers of 'What'cha Gonna Do About It' and 'Afterglow' at a
London studio on the last week in Jan. The hope is to get the single released in mid-Feb, with profits being split between the Band Aid Foundation and the post-tsunami relief effort.
