This week we were learning about Live Aid. Live Aid was a concert held in Philadelphia and London to make money for poverty. It was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure.
In the 1970's Bob Geldof was a singer and musician was born in Ireland and was educated at a Catholic private school. He was famous for the single Do They Know It's Christmas. He produced this song with Midge Ure. Bob was mostly involved in the band Boomtown Rats and Live Aid.
In the 1970's Midge Ure was a singer that was in quite a few bands and made a few popular songs. He was famous for the single Do They Know It's Christmas which gave him the motive to organise the event Live Aid. Midge was involved in seven bands. His most famous band being Ultravox.
The song Do They Know Its Christmas was sung by many singers that were famous at the time. This song was made for the Ethiopian kids because people were wondering if they knew it's Christmas. All of the 200 million dollars went to people in Ethiopia. This is what inspired Bob and Midge to do the live aid show.
