Ed Sheeran, Sir Paul McCartney & Jamie Oliver join musical forces!
The song will promote healthy eating for kids
Jamie Oliver has drafted in Sir Paul McCartney, Ed Sheeran, Chris Martin and Paloma Faith for a very special food-based musical collaboration.
The ‘pukka’ TV chef penned the as-yet-untitled song with Ed Sheeran in a bid to promote Food Revolution Day, which fights for food education for every child.
Ed and Jamie got together in Sydney, Australia last week to write the track and get a string of big names on board.
Jamie says: “I got an email this morning to call Paul (McCartney), he’s just put down bass on lyrics on a special anthem that I’ve written for Food Revolution Day.
"I wrote it with Ed Sheeran. It’ll go out in beginning of May, a viral campaign.
“We laid down the tracks and Ed set me the task of going out and getting the band together so I said to Paul, ‘Will you lay down bass?' and he said yes!”
He continued to Nova FM: “In doing this song with Ed, nobody has actually said no yet. It is pretty amazing.
“Paloma Faith, Jazzie B from Soul II Soul is doing spoken word, Chris Martin is putting some keys down. Ultimately it comes down to kids and food so I think we can get a great message out there.
“The weird thing is the poorest communities in the world cook the most incredible food so a lot of it comes back to education.”
The track will be released to coincide with Food Revolution Day on 15th May.
