At War Child, we will never give up on children affected by conflict.
War Child is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades, we’ve been driven by a single goal ensuring a safe future for every child living through war.
For 30 years, War Child has been working with some of the best known names in the music industry to make remarkable things happen.
George Michael, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Beth Orton, New Order, Beverly, Elbow, Muse, Faithless, The Prodigy and Manic Street Preachers.
Now it’s the turn of musicians in Lincolnshire to show their support.
In a Band Aid style project, Lincolnshire musicians (and some from beyond) will be recording and releasing a song, raising funds at their gigs and coming together for a live performance.
THE SONG
SECRET LAND is inspired by the story of two young children caught up in conflict. Their only escape from the misery and devastation around them is in their dreams where they imagine a peaceful land where they can be safe and happy. The aid workers who met them were evacuated when the area once more became a battle zone. When they returned, they searched the devastated land but never saw the two children again.
