Clean Bandit say there were some 'total b*stards' at Band Aid 30 recording

Clean Bandit reckon there were some egos at play during the recent Band Aid 30 recording.

The charity project reconvened in November to release a new version of 'Do They Know It's Christmas' to raise money for the Ebola efforts.

The song included the likes of One Direction, Bono and Chris Martin, with Clean Bandit also featuring.

Their band name means 'total b*stard' in Russian and when asked by Loaded who the last clean bandit they met was, Milan Neil Amin-Smith said:

"There were some of those at the Band Aid 30 recording. I couldn't possibly name anyone, but I suspect they'd be quite proud to be called a clean bandit."

Speaking more generally about the charity project, Grace Chatto added:

"I understand why people thought there are problems with Band Aid 30's politics, but the difference the song tried to make outweighs that. It's complicated, because I understand why people said no to being on the song. But Ebola is something that's been eradicated in Nigeria, and it's something Band Aid can have a massive influence on."
