Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Geldof

„Dacă vreun popor și vreo țară ar trebui consultați cu privire la problema genocidului, acestea sunt în mod absolut Israelul.” Iată declarația președintei parlamentului sârbesc Ana Brnabić care a vizitat săptămâna trecută Israelul. Oficialul sârb a răspuns unei întrebări privind respingerea de către Israel a rezoluției ONU privind genocidul de la Srebrenica. beta.rs comentează vizita făcută în Israel de Președinta Adunării Naționale, Ana Brnabić, săptămnâna trecută.  Ana Brnabić s-a întâlnit cu președintele israelian Isaac Herzog și cu ministrul israelian de externe, Gideon Sa'ar. Aceștia au discutat despre relațiile dintre cele două țări și despre consolidarea cooperării în mai multe domenii. „Toți (oficialii israelieni) și-au exprimat profunda recunoștință față de Serbia pentru tot sprijinul acordat după 7 octombrie”, a spus Brnabić. Potrivit oficialului sârb, cele două țări se concentrează acum pe încheierea unui acord de liber schimb. Întrebată dacă a mulțumit autorităților israeliene pentru respingerea rezoluției ONU privind Genocidul de la Srebrenica, Brnabić a răspuns că, dacă vreun popor și vreo țară ar trebui consultați cu privire la problema genocidului, acestea sunt în mod absolut Israelul. „Oficialii israelieni au susținut că a fost o crimă în masă teribilă, dar că nu poate fi definită drept genocid”, a spus Ana Brnabić.   Organizatorii festivalului Exist: următoarea ediție nu va avea loc în acestă Serbie Cea de-a 25-a ediție a Festivalului Exit a avut loc week-endul trecut la Cetatea Petrovaradin din Novi Sad. Organizatorii spun că este ultima dată când acest festival simbol pentru Serbia se desfășoară în „acestă Serbie,” relatează slobodnaevropa.org, Europa Liberă în limba sârbă. Festivalul s-a desfășurat în contextul protestelor antiguvernamentale, iar organizatorii au declarat că s-au aflat sub presiunea autorităților din cauza sprijinului acordat studenților. Șefa departamentului de comunicare spune că a fost semnat un acord pentru organizarea următoarei ediții în 2026, în Egipt. „A fost semnată o colaborare oficială cu compania egipteană Venture Lifestyle. A 26-a ediție a festivalului va avea loc lângă piramidele din Egipt. Dacă nu există nicio schimbare în țară, nu va mai exista niciun festival în Novi Sad,” a declarat responsabila de comunicare a evenimentului.  De-a lungul anilor, Exit a devenit un simbol al Serbiei. Cu aproximativ 200.000 de vizitatori anual, este recunoscut ca fiind unul dintre cele mai importante festivaluri de muzică din lume. Ediția de anul acesta a fost deschisă de Bob Geldof, fondatorul Live Aid,. În deschidere a cântat și artista italiană Gala. Hitul ei din anii 90, „Freed from Desire”, a devenit imn neoficial al protestelor și blocadelor din Serbia.   „Albania nu poate schimba prea multe pe câmpul de luptă, dar suntem alături de Kiev! shqiptarja.com scrie despre participarea premierului Edi Rama la Conferința privind Reconstrucția Ucrainei de la Roma. „Nu suntem o comunitate beligerantă, iar Ucraina nu este nici agresorul, nici autorul acestui război sângeros care are loc la granița Europei zi și noapte. Nimeni nu are o formulă magică, desigur, și cu siguranță nici eu nu am una. A vorbi despre pace nu pune capăt războiului și nu îl face pe Vladimir Putin un om pașnic. Totuși, aș dori împărtășesc convingerea că, chiar dacă vom face tot ce este necesar pentru a nu lăsa Ucraina să cadă, nu vom fi suficient de puternici pentru a pune capăt acestui război, pentru a salva Ucraina, dacă nu avem propriul nostru plan de pace puternic, curajos și atractiv. Pacea este singurul viitor despre care poate vorbi Europa,” a  spus Edi Rama.     Au participat la Revista Presei Europa Plus: Andjela RADULOVIC, Serbia Sofija JOVANOVIĆ, Serbia Lavdije XHELILI, Albania

It’s a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Live Aid! Live Aid was grand in scope and ambition. It was largely the brainchild of an unlikely hero, Bob Geldof, the Irish singer who fronted The Boomtown Rats, and who had helped assemble the all-star cast of Band Aid. Watched by 1.5 billion people, Live Aid eventually raised $127 US million for famine relief in Africa. But beyond that, Live Aid was also a cultural touchstone that showed the power of pop music and the determination of millions of people to make a difference in the world. Hours before the event took place, Christopher Ward had a chat with organizer Bob Geldof, who, in his intense way, told of the importance of Live Aid. He disputes the cultural significance in favour of the pragmatic view of delivering much needed aid to African famine relief. It’s an extraordinary interview with a man who is firing on all cylinders, almost to the breaking point. And of course, we also talk about the music, including: Although Geldof didn’t want them in the lineup, Freddie Mercury and the band provided the most memorable 22 minutes of the day, perhaps the best ever performance in music history. U2 – We have the full story of why they played only two songs that day… and how it became a major moment on their road to superstardom. David Bowie’s set was also memorable. But he almost didn’t play that day. And it was all because of a CBC report on the famine. We have the full story. Duran Duran. Simon LeBon made a considerable gaffe during one of their songs. He considers it the most embarrassing moment of his career. Led Zeppelin - why Jimmy Page blamed Phil Collins for Zeppelin’s less than perfect performance. There were also a number of artists who chose not to perform that day, including Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Prince, Culture Club and Huey Lewis. At least two of those acts regretted that decision. And we talk about the importance of Live Aid as a cultural milestone. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

40 years ago on July 13th, 1985, rock and pop history was made when an estimated global TV audience of 1.9 billion, and a combined total of over 160,000 fans in attendance at the London and Philadelphia shows watched Live Aid. The show was originally conceived by Bob Geldof following the huge success of Do They Know It's Christmas? with the aim of raising more money for those impacted by the then-ongoing famine in Ethiopia. Joining Sean Defoe to reflect on it all is journalist, Bairbre Power, who attended Live Aid Wembley & Live Aid Promoter, Harvey Goldsmith.

Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive into Live Aid as it turns 40. In Part 1 we spoke about the creation and buildup to the event on July 13, 2025 at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK in Philly. It was billed as a legendary fundraiser to support starving people in Africa organized by Bob Geldof which attracted some of the greatest artists of several generations. On our second installment, we break down the live acts throughout the day in the US and during the prime afternoon and evening times in the UK. While some stand out fo incredible performances (The Wolf was partial to Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders among them), some top of the charts performers hit some bad notes (yes, we're going there). And of course, we discuss the infamous Led Zeppelin reunion and interview with Alan Hunter. Part 3 will be released July 13, 2025 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. We are excited about 2 interviews with people who were at the stage in Philadelphia that day, including one of the original MTV VJs.

B.P. Fallon joins Ray to talk about his career and life which has now become the subject of an excellent documentary called 'Rock'n'Roll Wizard' which premieres at the Galway Film Fleadh this weekend and features interviews with Bob Geldof, Debbie Harry, Donovan, Robert Plant, Imelda May, Michael D. Higgins and more.

In this episode of The Quo-Cast, Jamie Dyer looks at Live Aid, marking 40 years since the historic event first took place on 13th July 1985. As many fans will know, Status Quo had the honour of opening proceedings at Wembley Stadium—an iconic moment that's gone down in rock history.We explore how the idea for Live Aid began with Bob Geldof's reaction to a BBC news report, the creation of Do They Know It's Christmas?, and how Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt were brought in to help broaden the appeal of the Band Aid single. There's also discussion of the technology and ambition behind broadcasting the concerts around the world—an incredible feat for 1985.Of course, the spotlight then turns to Quo's opening set. From the perfect choice of Rockin' All Over the World, to the deep-cut surprise of Don't Waste My Time—we explore how their three-song set has been remembered, edited (and in some ways, forgotten) in the years since. We also touch on how Rossi engaged the crowd in a way that predated Queen's legendary set hours later.Beyond Quo, we look at the rest of the line-up, the Philadelphia concert, and invite you to share your memories. Were you there? Did you watch it on TV? Did a particular act leave a lasting impression?The Quo-Cast is a podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the legendary British rock band Status Quo. Featuring interviews with fans, tribute bands, and those associated with the band, it covers all things Quo—from tours and albums to singles, solo material and more.

Live Aid may have been the cultural event for Gen X'ers just as Woodstock was for their baby boomer parents. Bob Geldof had led a group of British pop artists to the charity single Do They Know It's Christmas? That inspired US artists to create We Are The World. Both singles were to aid millions of starving people in Africa who were suffering from severe drought and broken politics. The huge success of the songs lead Geldof to be even more ambitious in coordinating a dual continent live concert with the biggest stars of the day (and with some legends as well) to raise money for Africa. On July 13, 1985 artists gathered in Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia and MTV broadcast 15 hours of programming which we ate up! Though a million things could have gone wrong, the day was an amazing event that raised money and awareness for a dire situation and brought together the most incredible lineup of talent. This is the first of 3 parts commemorating this incredible event. Here we'll breakdown how the singles came together, who came, who didn't, controversies and legacy. We name all the acts on both coasts before breaking down the UK performances before the US feed was piped into the UK. Part 2 will have the primetime acts from the UK and the US and we discuss the now infamous Led Zeppelin performance. But we're really excited about Part 3 which will feature interviews from 2 folks who were in Philadelphia that day - one of whom was an MTV VJ!! Viewed by 1.5 billion people around the world, the MTV broadcast in the US is so memorable for The Wolf and Action Jackson, we couldn't wait to reminisce about it. Talking to one of the original MTV VJs was a dream come true! But that's Part 3, for now listen to our excitement building up to the event, how we snuck off to watch it and the acts stood out early in the broadcast.

1985. július 13-án a popzene történetének egyik legmeghatározóbb eseménye zajlott le: a Live Aid. Két kontinensen, Londonban és Philadelphiában egyszerre zajlott a gigantikus jótékonysági koncert, amelynek célja az etiópiai éhínség enyhítése volt. A színpadon ott volt szinte mindenki, aki számított: a Queen, a U2, David Bowie, Madonna, Bob Dylan, a Led Zeppelin, a Who, Sting, Phil Collins itt és ott – és még sokan mások. A közvetítés több mint 1,5 milliárd embert ért el világszerte, és az esemény újraértelmezte, mire képes a popkultúra és az összefogás.- Bob Geldof is a saint - mondta két szám között Bryan Adams: egyik állandó vendégünk, Fábián Titusz segítségével végigvesszük, hogyan lett az ír Boomtown Rats frontembere az évtized közepének meghatározó figurája, mik voltak az előzmények, hogyan szervezte az eseményt Nagy-Britanniában és az USÁ-ban, kik és miért nem voltak jelen, hogyan épít egy hamis mítoszt a Bohemian Rhapsody című film a Queen fellépésével kapcsolatban, milyen utóélete volt a Live Aidnek, milyen magyar vonatkozásai vannak, avagy felléphetett-e volna az LGT a Wembley-ben, illetve a magyar eseményen miért nem játszott az R-Go.Műsorvezető: Bihari Balázs, Németh RóbertA Wanted podcast adása az NKA Hangfoglaló program támogatásával készült.

Tune in to reflect on your own potential to make a difference.Salim Amin's bio:From humble roots in a small shop in Dar es Salaam, Salim's father Mohamed Amin began Camerapix in 1963. With the instincts of a warrior and the heart of a leader, Mohamed Amin built Camerapix into a sustainable, world class organization covering news, features and producing documentaries with a variety of global networks including the BBC, NBC and Reuters. Today, Salim has continued that tradition by helping educate Africa's youth through the Mohamed Amin Foundation and as a founder of Africa 24 Media, a media platform that was dedicated to positive stories about the culture and history of Africa.Recognized in 2007 as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Salim's leadership has been rewarded.

Welcome to That 80s Show, where it always tastes like Mello-Yello and Live Aid 40 is going to make sure every day is Christmas.Paulo watched a little-known 80s Rom-Com, but it raised some awkward questions about what turns a demon on.There is only one person who would be offended by being compared to John Stamos, and we find out about the poor tour guide who came across him.We have a Michael Bolton health update, and Dori is going to spend all the money in her BoB T account trying to get Corey Haim's phone number.Jump to: Live Aid Musical "Just for One Day" (00:04:05)Plot Overview of "My Demon Lover" (00:09:41):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCiwZzPcMXwScott Valentine (19:55): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0884306/mediaviewer/rm3464153088/?ref_=nm_ph_1Mistaken Identity: John Stamos (21:10): https://people.com/rob-lowe-calls-out-tour-bus-driver-who-mistakes-him-for-john-stamos-11717742Podcast on Full House (24:30): https://www.cracked.com/article_46377_full-house-child-actors-fielded-gross-questions-about-uncle-jesse-from-adult-interviewers.htmlMichael Bolton's Health Update (27:15): https://people.com/michael-bolton-breaks-silence-glioblastoma-brain-cancer-diagnosis-first-interview-exclusive-11724330Corey Haim and Corey Feldman Hotline (32:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7HrRRAXAjs&t=30s

In our latest episode, we dive into the haunting story behind I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats and honor the powerful legacy of Bob Geldof. More than a chart-topping hit, the song sparked global reflection—and Geldof's passion led to the legendary Live Aid and Live 8 benefit concerts, raising millions for famine relief. Tune in as we pay tribute to music that made a difference.#BobGeldof #IDontLikeMondays #BoomtownRats #LiveAid #Live8 #MusicHistory #PodcastTribute #BenefitConcerts #80sMusic #SongWithAStory #MusicForChange #NewPodcast

Comedian Brad Williams sits in with Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller to talk about the meaning behind Bob Geldof's song I Don't Like Mondays, sour cream ruining quesadillas, bathrobes, Adam's new YouTube series Road Rants and the mean comments it has been inspiring, and harmonica-led national anthems. They then try to figure out if the comedian Gallagher's brother is still alive with mixed results. Adam, Jason, and Brad Williams then go over the news stories of the day including a family continually catching a stranger using their pool, Jay Leno saying he made a mistake letting Kimmel humiliate him on his own show, and a lively debate over whether or not 100 men could defeat 1 gorilla. Elisha Krauss comes on to close out the show talking about the difference between conservative and liberal podcasts and YouTube shows, the Democrat's playbook to combatting Trump, Kamala Harris' potential run for Governor, how she approaches writing Op-Ed's for the Washington Examiner, what constitutes the best time for a radio news show, and why blind loyalty to politicians is a losing venture.

Today on Too Opinionated, singer Zara Phillips comes back for another visit. Somebody's Daughter - and the 2018 book and 2022 one-woman show the film is based on – focusses on Zara's personal journey of overcoming early addiction, navigating her life and meeting her birth father after many years and struggles after connecting with her birth mother. The project's true driving force is tofacilitate honest, vulnerable conversations about adoption. Too many people, she says, are ignoring these important issues. In addition to acting and writing, Zara is also a talented singer and songwriter who launched her career in the 80s, appearing in music videos and providing backing vocals on tour with Bob Geldof, Matt Bianco, David Essex and Nick Kamen. While taking some years away from creative endeavors to raise a family, she came back strong in the 2000s, releasing two albums(When The Rain Stops and You. Me & Us) produced by Ted Perlman, whose multi-faceted musical resume includes Whitney Houston, Bob Dylan and Chicago; earning a Best Homegrown Documentary honor for her 2008 film Roots Unknown at the Garden State Film Festival; and publishing in 2008 her first book Mother Me, a compelling memoir about her ongoing struggles as an adoptee now raising a family of her own. A few years later, Zara's song “I'm Legit,” co-written with Darryl McDaniels (DMC of Run-DMC), was a successful single in the adoption world and beyond. In 2014, Zara's one woman show Beneath My Father's Sky, directed by Eliza and Eric Roberts won Best Direction at NYC's United Solo Festival and was performed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Connecticut and London in 2016. During this era, she was presented with an Angel in Adoption Award by the Congressional Coalition of Adoption Institute. Her most recent album, released in 2020, is Meditation and Kitkats, and she currently tours and performs with her husband, British folk-rock legend Richard Thompson, who scored Somebody's Daughter.   Want t owatch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Is there anybody who doesn't know the name Bob Geldof? Along with the Sex Pistols and the Clash, Geldof and the Boomtown Rats are attributed with changing the face of music. A significant part is due to the Live Aid concert and Geldof's activism – which is part of the reason he's made his way to our shores. Geldof has a couple of dates lined up in New Zealand, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid and the 50th anniversary of the Boomtown Rats. The show's called ‘An Evening with Bob Geldof: Songs and Stories from an Extraordinary Life', and it's a slightly different type of show than he normally performs. Geldof told Mike Hosking that it leans more theatrical, with visuals and songs accompanying the storytelling element. “It's not something I'd normally do,” he continued. “In the summer, as you said, the Rats are 50, we do all the big festivals and then we're talking off mic about, y'know, suddenly Bobby Boomtown's in the house." "The sagacious quiet person you're listening to right now becomes something else.” This show is set to be a bit less intense, Geldof jokingly warning people to bring a sleeping bag as the stories may go on for a while.

An episode that hyperfixates on SPINS!Here's what's in store for today's episode: * In this episode, we dive into autistic special interests (SPINS) and the joy they bring us.* Our hosts start off by talking about how fiction can be an escape for autistic individuals from challenging childhoods.* Matt and Angela dive into their first SPINS—Frankenstein and Star Wars for Matt, and Bob Geldof and philanthropy for Angela.* We talk about director's cuts of movies and the autistic tendency to look up films on Wikipedia or IMDb while watching.* Additionally, we dive into Angela's SPIN for the band Crowded House and explore how touring for a band can radiate autistic energy.* We then discuss how the early internet was super autistic and how it helped us find our people to hyperfixate on our SPINS with.* ABA culture suggests we can only have our special interests if we're "good" and earn them, but that's not true. Our special interests are a natural part of who we are and shouldn't have to be earned or justified.* We talk about having a career built around special interests and how This Is The Way for autistic people.* Our special interests help us enter flow states, where we become deeply focused and productive, unlocking creativity and success.* Finally, we discuss how autistic SPINS can foster deep, meaningful connections, creating beautiful mutual friendships where shared passions and understanding strengthen bonds.“[My special interests] were the things that got me through it. I identified more with the fictional world than the real one because friends, family, and fictional characters.” - Matt“Now, why would you wait and watch the whole movie while instead, you could be looking things up on IMDb or Wikipedia and making your own director's cut in your mind?” - Angela“We train our children young. You must train your children in your special interests to increase emotional regulation through special interests. The children we love most accept our special interests as their own. These are the rules.” - Angela“Back in the day, the Internet was limited to the people who were really, really autistic as hell. Because you were like, ‘I absolutely need to talk about Star Wars with somebody. I will find people to talk about Transformers with, all this. And you found your people.” - Matt“We cannot enter a flow state through coercion. We cannot enter a flow state when people say, ‘hey, read this thing'. We cannot squeeze this into our head - partially because of PDA, partially because we just can't do it because that's not how our brains work. But if we have some sort of breadcrumb that gets us interested, we will go all the way and learn everything there is to know about it.” - Matt“When you find the thing that really, really comes together for you, you just kind of fall into it and that becomes your thing.” - Matt“It feels like unlocking a secret code when you meet somebody and you're able to mutually info dump about the thing that you're really passionate about, because you just hype each other up. And it is a type of relationship that I don't think neurotypicals understand.” - MattDid you enjoy this episode? We explored the power of autistic special interests (SPINS) and how they shape our lives, from hyperfocus to creating mutual friendships.

Bob Geldof is a musician, activist and one of the organizers of Live Aid, the massive 1985 benefit concert that raised millions for famine relief in Ethiopia. Some of the biggest artists and bands of all time came together for that concert — but how did Bob convince them all to give up their time for free on the same day? Ahead of the Toronto opening of “Just For One Day,” a new jukebox musical about Live Aid, Bob sits down with Tom Power to share some of the stories from behind the scenes of Live Aid, including how he got Queen to participate and why David Bowie insisted on the use of some CBC footage as the one condition of him playing.

As she celebrates the release of her extraordinary autobiographical film Somebody's Daughter, Zara Phillips offers up some tough love truths that fly in the face of the often cheery, sanitized way adopted children (and other beings) are depicted in Disney films and other media. From her years of advocacy,studying contemporary sociological research and personal experiences as an adopted person herself, the passionate lifelong advocate for adoptees knows that even well into adulthood, their existential struggles of feeling like outsiders with little known stories of their history and birth parents makes them at least four times more likely to attempt suicide. They are also much more inclined to turn to addiction as a coping mechanism, as Zara did in her teens and early 20s. Somebody's Daughter - and the 2018 book and 2022 one-woman show the film is based on – focusses on Zara's personal journey of overcoming early addiction, navigating her life and meeting her birth father after many years and struggles after connecting with her birth mother. The project's true driving force is tofacilitate honest, vulnerable conversations about adoption. In addition to acting and writing, Zara is also a talented singer and songwriter who launched her career in the 80s, appearing in music videos and providing backing vocals on tour with Bob Geldof, Matt Bianco, David Essex and Nick Kamen.  In 2014, Zara's one woman show Beneath My Father's Sky, directed by Eliza and Eric Roberts won Best Direction at NYC's United Solo Festival and was performed in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Connecticut and London in 2016. During this era, she was presented with an Angel in Adoption Award by the Congressional Coalition of Adoption Institute. Her most recent album, released in 2020, is Meditation and Kitkats, and she currently tours and performs with her husband, British folk-rock legend Richard Thompson, who scored Somebody's Daughter.   Want t owatch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)  

"If I Was" Midge Ure is a one-man highlight machine. The Scottish born Ivor Novello Award winning musician was in the pop band Silk, the post-punk outfit Rich Kids with Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, the synth band Visage, the rock band Think Lizzy and the new wave band Ultravox. If you were wondering if Ure has range, the answer is: yes. Aside from co-writing Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas with Bob Geldof, helping organize the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute, being the musical director of the Prince's Trust concerts, organizing Live 8 concerts, being appointed the Order of The British Empire, receiving five honorary Doctor of Arts degrees by esteemed universities, and being an Ambassador for Save the Children, Ure has also had a successful solo career, releasing close to ten marvelous albums. Not only that, but he's an author, he's been on Celebrity Master Chef and he turned down an invitation to be in the Sex Pistols. His latest effort is Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a show that was recorded back in April of 2023 and it's just wonderful. In recent years, Ure along with keyboardist Charlie Round-Turner have figured out how to play songs that have a lot of sonic architecture and replicate them in two-man band form. The results are rich and deeply satisfying and Ure will be hitting the road in this Band In A Box format in May for a North American tour. But in the meantime, he's stopped by the podcast for a chat. http://www.midgeure.co.uk www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com) IG: @emberspodcast Bluesky: @emberspodcast

What's up, dudes? Remember Band Aid and its mega-hit “Do They Know It's Christmas?” It spun off countless relief efforts, including Carol Aid 1985. Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas introduced me to this concert, and he's here to talk about its MTV and Music Box broadcast!Carol Aid was a famine relief concert held at the club Heaven in London. MTV and Music Box aired a cut down version, leaving out several acts. In fact, the likes of Magnum, Captain Sensible, and Miquel Brown (to name a few) were cut for time. It's quite unbelievable.Cliff Richard kicked off the broadcast version with “Another Christmas Day,” while John Parr sang “Once in Royal David's City.” Meanwhile, the Fixx pressed for donations and sang “Peace On Earth,” a hidden track from their following album. Subsequently, the event ended with the entire roster singing “Do They Know It's Christmas?” rather heartily.Chris De Burgh? Check. Anita Harris? She was there. Toto Coelo and the Flying Pickets? Got them too, though we have no idea what they sang. So grab your oversized checks, put on your red beret, and jam out to “Carols from Heaven” and Carol Aid 1985!Sounds of ChristmasFB: @SOCMusicTwitter: @SOCMusicIG: @socmusicGive us a buzz!

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 3ú lá de mí Feabhra, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1989 sheas an tAire Sláinte Rory O'Hanlon leis a chinneadh chun ospideál Barrington I Luimneach a dhúnadh. Ní raibh na daoine a raibh ag obair san ospideál sásta leis ach dúirt sé go raibh sé riachtanach do chúram sláinte níos fearr. I 2010 bhí buachaill aois 15 sa chúirt nuair a rinne sé damáiste dá teach nuair a bhí fearg mhór air agus dúirt an chúirt go gcaithfidh sé 6 mhí de thimireacht a dhéanamh de bharr. I 1989 bhí agóid ann nuair a d'oscail an iascaireacht bradán ar an abhainn Fergus. Sheas na daoine síos an abhainn le a lán daoine ag diúltaigh chun iascaireacht a dhéanamh. I 1992 atoghadh Seamus Mulconry don tríú téarma mar fheidhmeannach d'Fhine Gael Óga agus bhí sé mar bhall is faide den pháirtí Sin Owl City le Fireflies an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2010. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2010 thacaigh le hamhránaí ó AC/DC Brian Johnson le criticeoirí de Bob Geldof agus Bono de bharr a obair a raibh siad á dhéanamh do charthanas. Dúirt sé go gcaithfidh siad a obair mhaith a dhéanamh go príobháideach. I 2021 dúirt deirfiúr de Mariah Carey go raibh sí chun an dlí a chur uirthi do 1.2 milliún dollar do chiapadh mothúchánach de bharr cad a dúirt sí ina leabhair cuimhní. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Warwick Davis I 1970 sa Bhreatain agus rugadh aisteoir Nathan Lane I 1956 I Meiriceá agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

A holiday surprise! I invited Patrick Dupuis (EETF Podcast), John Mutford, Mike Drew, Hector Contreras, Kyle Hildreth, and Woody Meachum to discuss the 2024 documentary Band Aid - The Making Of The Original 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' - to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic charity single. The movie is streaming for free on YouTube!Send us a text

Two charity singles are reaching their 40th anniversary that supported Africa's famine: Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (1984), and U.S.A. for Africa's "We Are the World" (1985). Both gathered a fantastic group of celebrities singing together, and earned enough proceeds for future philanthropy.

When the BBC aired journalist Michael Buerk's harrowing reports of Ethiopian famine in 1984, few could have imagined the enduring legacy they would inspire. Among those watching was Irish musician Bob Geldof, who became determined to help in the only way he knew how. So, how did Band Aid's iconic Christmas single come about and why is it still causing controversy today? Host: Ellen Coyne | Guest: John MeagherSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stuart Bruce in conversation with David Eastaugh Stuart Robert Bruce is an English recording engineer. He was the engineer for the recording of the Band Aid's charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" on 25 November 1984. Bruce started his career at Trevor Horn's Sarm West Studios. When Horn offered Bob Geldof and Midge Ure the studio free of charge for 24 hours to record the charity single, but was unavailable to produce it, Bruce was approached to engineer and mix what became one of the biggest selling singles ever. With many of the most famous artists of the time participating, and seven film crews in attendance, he worked straight through that day and night. The reputation Bruce gained of being able to get a track down in difficult circumstances later led to him being chosen to engineer the Guitar Trio album by Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucía and John McLaughlin.

This week's events piled into a pipe and enthusiastically smoked include …   … our memories of being at the Band Aid recording in Sarm studios, November 25 1984. … why it was the last dance of the mass media and why nothing could have the same impact now. … the “household name” that made all the difference. … the real reason Bob Geldof could be involved.   … James Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the Spaghetti Westerns … how music is the real DNA of film franchises, the fingerprint that connects you with the original.   … why should a teenager know what a radio is? … “Live vivid! Delete ordinary! Break moulds! Copy nothing!” The tortuous rebranding of Jaguar. … what the BBC spends 95 per cent of its time doing. … how Bee Gees' drummer Dennis Byron unwittingly invented the tape loop. … the appeal of inconvenient technology. … David's second Deep ‘70s compilation, “a dream fulfilment” – Americana, Skinny Tie music, cover versions, the outer limits of Island Records. … plus birthday guest Mike Sketch on discovering music late in life (Dylan, Tom Waits etc). David's ‘More Deep 70s' 4-CD compilation is available for pre-order now:https://www.amazon.co.uk/David-Hepworths-More-Deep-Misunderstood/dp/B0DCGGQDNKFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

MUSIC A former associate of Sean "Diddy" Combs is sharing details about who could and couldn't attend one of the alleged "freak-off" parties. Linkin Park will perform at the League of Legends world championship opening ceremony Saturday at 9am at LoLesports.com. Korn have teamed up with Adidas for their third merch collaboration, which will be out on Thursday through the band's website and the Adidas website. Jane's Addiction might be on hiatus after Perry Farrell's on-stage meltdown last month, but the band's merch machine rolls on. Supreme has teamed up with the band for a new collection of clothing due out on Thursday. The late Christine McVie's 1987 Fleetwood Mac song “Everywhere” has joined the Spotify Billions Club. It joins three other Mac songs on the list -- “Dreams,” “The Chain” and “Go Your Own Way.” Helping “Everywhere” crack the list was its use in a Chevy commercial. Primus posted on their social media today (Tuesday) that longtime drummer Tim “Herb” Alexander has “abruptly” quit the band on the heels of what they called “a fabulous spring and summer of touring” and with “some fabulous plans ahead.” They say his departure was “a complete shock” and that their only contact with him was an email saying he'd “lost his passion for playing.” They say they will do their annual New Year's show in a one-off augmented version with members of Holy Mackerel and Frog Brigade; that Tool drummer Danny Carey will join them at a number of scheduled shows with Tool in the Dominican Republic; and that they “plan on searching for the greatest drummer on earth” to replace Alexander. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS: Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum are history. The stars have called off their engagement, according to People magazine.  The Wayans family is back in the Scary Movie business  Here's a sentence you probably never expected to hear: Chuck Norris, Vanilla Ice, and Bob Geldof are making a movie called "Zombie Plane". Quentin Tarantino liked the new Joker movie, saying, "I'm just nihilistic enough to kind of enjoy a movie that doesn't quite work as a movie, and that's a big, giant mess to some degree. I didn't find it an intellectual exercise. I really got caught up into it . . . I really liked the musical sequences. I thought the more banal the songs were, the better they were." RIP: Terri Garr has died. She was 79. Garr had a long battle with multiple sclerosis. She suffered an aneurysm in 2006.  AND FINALLY One more sleep until Halloween! If you've been slacking in your spooky movie game this season, it's not too late.    Here are 13 movies that take place on Halloween night:   1. "Late Night with the Devil" (2023)  2. "Terrifier" (2016)  3. "Halloween" (1978)  AND THAT IS YOUR CRAP ON CELEBRITIES!

Drummer Omar Hakim is one of those players you know it's him when you hear him. He's been the go-to guy for dozens of legends for over 40 years. Artists like Miles Davis, Sting, Bowie, Dire Straits, Kate Bush rely on him to make them the best they can be. These days, Omar is excited about a new project called Sonic Boom Squad which is almost a solo project. In a fit of creativity he wrote and recorded several funk rock songs along the lines of the Isley Brothers or Mother's Finest and is releasing them over the next few months. We get into all of this as well as playing with Tracy Chapman, Anita Baker, Bruce Hornsby, Bob Geldof, and even Don Johnson and your favorite Mariah Carey Christmas song! There's a lot here.
