War Child Heroes : Click Music

Click Music's feature on War Child's Heroes;

"The fifth album in the series was released on 16th February, with the concept that the biggest legends in music history select their personal favourite song from their own songwriting canon, and nominate an artist from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that classic song.

The likes of Beck, Duffy, Elbow and Franz Ferdinand headed to the legendary Abbey Road Studios after being handed songs by Bob Dylan, Sir Paul McCartney, U2 and Blondie.

Parlophone are donating all the profits to War Child's work to protect the most marginalised children in war zones, who would otherwise be overlooked: street children, child soldiers and children in prison. For more information head to www.warchild.org.uk/heroes.
