Elbow, Duffy and The Kooks have all recorded cover versions for a new War Child charity album.

'Heroes', which is released on February 16th, also features Hot Chip, Scissor Sisters and Rufus Wainwright.

Each musician was asked to record a cover version for the album by the artist who originally wrote the track.

Sir Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan are among the musicians covered on the record.

All proceeds from the album, which was recently mastered at Abbey Road in London, will go to the charity.
