“Help Is Coming was recorded by Crowded House over 20 years ago, but it evokes with uncanny empathy the howling uncertainty faced by thousands of families arriving in Europe for the first time.”

Columnist Moran, who is married to Paphides added: “The day after the pictures of three-year-old Alan Kurdi went around the world – it was like a switch had been flicked.

“My social media timelines were full of people who just could not stay inactive any more… People doing that brilliant, simple, ageless human thing of wanting to help other people.

“So, Pete and I were just doing what everyone else was doing, really. He’d found the perfect song… and I just went on Facebook and told everyone what we were doing.

“And everyone was desperate to help – everyone felt the same way”.
