In February 2010, a campaign began on social networking site Facebook to get 'History Maker' into the UK charts for Easter. In response to the increasing support for the campaign, the decision was made to release the track as a single under the title 'History Makers'. The song was released for download on 28 March 2010. Two versions have been made available, the original studio version (featured on the album King of Fools and the 2009 compilation album History Makers), and a new live version taken from the band's upcoming final live album: 'Farewell Show'.
All profits generated from the single will go towards the charity CompassionArt a charity set up by Martin Smith the lead singer of the band which creates freedom from poverty.
It entered the midweek chart at number 6 on 31 March 2010 and reached number 4 on 4/4/10. but only spent a week in the Top 40 after dropping to No.61 the next week. It was number 1 in the Indie singles chart.

“A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
