Speaking of the track, The Farm’s Peter Hooton said, “I’m so pleased that such an eclectic mix of artistes from all over the world wanted to get involved in the new recording of ‘All Together Now’. For me it’s really important that the real message of the Christmas Truce, of peace, hope and humanity is highlighted, and I think this great new version of the song captures this atmosphere and the feeling of unity and togetherness which was so evident during the recording sessions.”

The Christmas Truce was a series of widespread, unofficial ceasefires that took place along the Western Front over Christmas 1914. British and German troops ventured into ‘no man’s land’, exchanging food and souvenirs, singing carols, and, most famously, playing football.
