The Story of Live Aid
Manage episode 405957646 series 2596128
How one scruffy Irish popstar saw a terrible famine being reported on his television and decided to do a bit more than just send a cheque to Oxfam. (John spent so long researching this podcast on Live Aid that he thought he might as well do a West End Musical about it at the same time).
Reading List:
The Eighties, One Day, One Decade by Dylan Jones;
Is That It by Bob Geldof
