All Together Now, set for UK release on December 15, marks the 100th anniversary of the Christmas Day Truce during World War One - the original inspiration for the The Farm track – with all proceeds going to the British Red Cross and the Shorncliffe Trust.
Lead singer of The Farm, Peter Hooton, says: “I'm so very proud that so many artistes from all styles of music and the football authorities have come together to promote peace and reconciliation this Christmas and raise funds for the brilliant work carried out by the British Red Cross and Shorncliffe Trust.”
All Together Now first entered the Official Singles Chart in 1990, peaking at Number 4. In 2004 a new version of the track, featuring SFX Boys Choir, hit Number 5.
