Academy in Christmas Truce music video

Arsenal academy players Finley Stevens and Nathan Butler feature in the soon-to-be released ‘All Together Now’ single, as part of the backing choir.

The song was recorded to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War’s Christmas Truce football matches, when British and German soldiers left their trenches to play games of football in sub-zero temperatures on Flanders Fields.

The Gunners pair were part of a 60-strong group of under-12 footballers from across the Premier League and Bundesliga to record the song at Parr Street Studios.

They feature on the track alongside stars from the UK music industry, including Clean Bandit, Gorgon City, Alexandra Burke, The Proclaimers, Holly Johnson, David Gray, Gabrielle, Engelbert Humperdinck and The Farm.

The single, which will raise money for the British Red Cross and Shorncliffe Trust, will be released on Monday,  December 15, can be viewed above.
