Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Geldof

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)

The draft year 7-13 English curriculum proposes compulsory Shakespeare for senior secondary school students. That's provoked a furious debate about the relevance of Shakespeare in this day and age - Shakespeare is important, but is it essential? Even when I was at secondary school 45 years ago, Shakespeare was not popular. One year we were studying Hamlet. So, the school organised an afternoon matinee of the play at the Mercury Theatre. The boys were so rowdy that a young Michael Hurst commented it was the worst audience he had ever had. We didn't even calm down during the sword fights. That didn't happen when we studied Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman or Thomas Beckett's Murder in the Cathedral. Those plays used language we understood and themes we could relate to. To teach you must engage and much and all as we bemoan the fall of Shakespeare, he's still so strong that his influence on the modern world will not fail. So, what will engage the kids, I don't know. This generation is less engaged than ever - so much so I had to explain who Bob Geldof was to my 26-year-old son. And speaking of which the most engagement I had in English at school was when we studied the lyrics of David Bowie's 'Time' from the Aladdin Sane album. And let's remember that in 2016 Bob Dylan won the Nobel prize in literature. Would anyone mind if he was added to the curriculum? Post script: I see that the new curriculum says that spelling and keyboard lessons for children at intermediate schools should be compulsory - you mean they're not already? How do our kids survive in this modern world?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Bob Geldof is a musician, an activist, a charity man, and a Knight of the British Empire... despite being an Irishman. He rose to fame as a member of The Boomtown Rats, but in 1984 an item on the 6 o'clock news sparked him to create one of the world's most memorable charity drives; Band Aid and then eventually Live Aid, raising money to end famine in Ethiopia. Geldof is in Wellington this week to share stories of his life and joined Nick Mills to discuss his legacy and what audiences can expect at Saturday's show at the St James Theatre.

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.

Nous sommes à la veille du réveillon de Noël 1984. L'année a été fabuleuse, spécialement à Los Angeles où grâce au succès historique d'une incroyable brochette d'artistes tels que Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bryan Adams ou Metallica, l'industrie du disque basée dans cette ville n'a jamais autant rapporté. Car oui, à Hollywood, Los Angeles, il y a désormais une autre industrie que le cinéma et la télé à faire recette : la musique. Ah je vous prie de croire que tout le monde commence à connaître le chemin du studio hollywoodien où Michael a enregistré Thriller. Et puis, c'est dans cette ville que, venu du grand nord des Etats-Unis, il a emménagé tout gamin, au début des années 70, avec sa famille. Il vit d'ailleurs toujours dans la même maison, avec ses parents. Bref, on ne compte plus les musiciens vivant à L.A., les ingénieurs du son, producteurs, surtout depuis l'époque récente, du disco, mais aussi les agents. Parmi eux, un certain Ken Kragen, 39 ans, se distingue de ses pairs en ce qu'il est lui-même devenu une vedette des médias. Et ce matin du 23 décembre, il reçoit dans ses bureaux la visite inattendue d'une véritable légende de la chanson populaire : Harry Belafonte. Si ce nom ne vous dit rien, pas de complexe, en 1984, Belafonte n'est plus connu que des militants des droits civiques dont il a été une des grandes figures, vingt ans plus tôt, quand il était, lui aussi, une star de la chanson établie depuis longtemps. Vous ne pouvez pas, ne pas connaître Banana Boat ni Try to remember. Et donc, si ce matin du 23 décembre, on serait curieux de savoir ce qu'aurait fait Ken Kragen, s'il avait su que cette poignée de main et accolade qu'il donne à Belafonte allait déboucher sur la seule chose pour laquelle finalement on parle toujours de lui.As-tu entendu ce que les Britanniques viennent de sortir pour sauver des vies en Afrique ?Bien sûr qu'il est au courant, c'est actuellement la vente du siècle en Europe. Mais l'Amérique est loin et on en parle assez peu. Et bien ?Et bien je voudrais qu'on reprenne l'idée de Bob Geldof et qu'on réunisse les plus grandes stars des Etats-Unis pour un concert. Comme tu es le manager de deux des plus grandes, tu me vois me tenir devant toi.C'est donc en cette journée que Ken Kragen appelle l'artiste qui lui doit tout. Celui à qui il a dit trois ans plus tôt, alors qu'il s'apprête à quitter un des groupes les plus populaires des Etats-Unis : ton problème, c'est que le public connaît tes chansons mais pas ton nom. Je m'en occupe ! Et après deux albums solos triomphaux dont le second à l'échelle de la planète, Lionel Richie reçoit un appel de son manager qui lui dit avoir besoin de lui.

Zwischen Überzeugungsarbeit und Propaganda verläuft ein schmaler Grad. Aber so oder so: Wer die subtileren Werkzeuge hat und vor allem die Mittel um Menschen zu kaufen, die diese dann anwenden, hat eindeutig die besseren Karten. Dass die Bevölkerung nun wissen will, mit welchen Mitteln sie auf welche Weise beeinflusst werden soll, ist selbstverständlich. Wie nuanciert diese Beeinflussung stattfinden kann, darauf haben uns unsere Hörer beim letzten Beitrag von Milosz Matuschek: „Die ersten Köpfe rollen“ gestoßen. Es ging um die staatliche amerikanische Behörde für internationale Entwicklungshilfe USAID. Matuschek schrieb: „Man liest was von AID im Namen und denkt, was man denken soll: klingt nach Bob Geldof, barmherzigen Schwestern und “Brot für die Welt”.“ Man hatte das nicht nur optisch wahrgenommen, nein, diese Behörde wurde hierzulande, in allen Medien US AID genannt, was unsere Sprecherin Sabrina Khalil übernahm. Dass die United States Agency for International Development in USA so nicht gesprochen wird, schrieben uns gleich mehrere aufmerksame Hörer. Es ist sicherlich keine Paranoia darüber nachzudenken, ob die Bedeutung unserer Sprache, unserer Wörter bis hin zur Aussprache im Fokus der Manipulation steht. Dafür wird sehr viel Geld locker gemacht und unter anderem in die Medien gepumpt. Hören Sie heute den zweiten Teil der Reihe „Die Corona-Connection“ mit dem Titel: „Der mediale Deep State wankt“. Sprecherin: Sabrina Khalil. Das freie Medienprojekt Pareto kann übrigens Unterstützung gebrauchen, dafür wurde ein Crowdfunding auf Geyser gestartet, wo man mit Bitcoin/Lightning-Spenden helfen kann.

En 1984, le Townhouse, studio londonien créé par Richard Branson, le patron de Virgin, a transformé le quartier de Shepherd's Bush en endroit branché tant on croise tous ceux qui hantent le Top 40. Pas étonnant que parmi les Simple Minds, Elton John ou Bryan Ferry, Phil Collins y ait pris ses quartiers pour enregistrer ce qui sera déjà son troisième album solo. Le téléphone sonne. Qui le demande ? Bob Geldof. Le chanteur des Boomtown Rats, un groupe new wave de la première heure mais dont l'heure de gloire semble déjà passée. Que lui veut-il ? Encore un qui veut se faire produire par Phil Collins ? Passe-le moi !Vous l'avez compris, les deux hommes ne se connaissent pas et pourtant, Geldof va direct au but : Tu as vu les infos à la BBC ?Non, là, je suis dans les bois. Une expression de Quincy Jones pour dire que quand on est en studio, on est hors du monde. Et là, Geldof de lui raconter le reportage qu'il a vu la veille à la BBC avec ces gens qui meurent de faim en Ethiopie et ce médecin obligé de décider qui va vivre ou pas, car ils n'a pas reçu assez de nourriture des associations.J'ai décidé avec ma femme, une animatrice télé très populaire, de faire quelque chose. On ne peut pas attendre. J'ai besoin d'un batteur très connu alors j'ai pensé immédiatement à toi.Pour faire quoi ?Quelques jours plus tard, le 25 novembre, Phil se retrouve un dimanche au Sarm Studios, qu'il ne connaît que trop bien, y ayant enregistré trois albums avec Genesis du temps de Peter Gabriel. Un autre studio de Richard Branson mais racheté par Trevor Horn, le leader des Buggles, il est devenu le repère de la scène pop des années 80. On le devine, entouré des jeunes Spandau Ballet, Culture Club et autres Bananarama, Phil Collins a l'impression d'être dans les pages d'un magazine teenager comme le Smash Hits. D'autant plus qu'il les voit défiler, chanter toute la journée en attendant que ce soit son tour de jouer. Et quand vient le moment, ils sont tous là à le regarder, derrière sa batterie, quand Midge Ure d'Ultravox, le producteur, lui dit, tu commences ici et tu fais ce que tu veux ! Ah bon ? Top, vas-y !Et Phil, le casque sur les oreilles, improvise sa piste de batterie. Il n'en mène pas large, évidemment. Mais quand le morceau s'arrête, il entend Midge crier un grand Impeccable ! Tout le monde l'applaudit. T'es sûr ? J'ai envie de la refaire. Non, pas besoin, il est tard. Et voilà, one take comme Frank Sinatra. Phil Collins fait alors la connaissance de Bono et parle un peu avec Sting à qui il propose de venir faire les chœurs sur son prochain album No jacket Required. Ainsi Sting lui proposera-t-il de faire un duo au Live Aid qui deviendra mythique : Genesis et The Police, deux univers si lointains et pourtant. La boucle est bouclée, Phil Collins est vraiment l'incarnation de ces années de renouvellement que furent les années 80, il est, comme dans le clip de cette chanson, le roi du monde. Avec humour, bien sûr, regardez-le jusqu'à la fin.

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.

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. Explore the music and charitable impact then and now. Theme Song: "Dance Track", composed by Jessica Ann Catena1984 documentaryBand Aid II (1989)Band Aid 30 (2014)2024 Ultimate MixBand Aid Forty - AlbumBand Aid name origin clip: (7:31-8:03) - VH1's I Love the 80s-3D: 1984 (2005)"We Are the World 25 for Haiti" (2010)The Greatest Night In Pop (2024)Related Episodes:Ep. 115 - Christmas Hot 100 HitsEp. 190 - Tina Turner Top 10Ep. 193 - George Michael Top 20Ep. 219 - Christmas 2023's SongsEp. 255 - Yacht Soul PlaylistEp. 258 - The Jackson 5 Top 10Ep. 260 - Global Citizen Festival 2024 - Review Ep. 263 - Ghostbusters' 2 Movie ThemesEp. 265 - Quicy Jones FavoritesEp. 269 - Christmas 2024 Playlist

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.

What's up, dudes? They say the sequels are never as good as the first. I think The Empire Strikes Back proves them wrong…but Band Aid II doesn't. I have music journalist Alex Rawls from The Twelve Songs of Christmas and My Spilt Milk with me to talk all about the second version of the charity song done in 1989! Spoilers: it's not as good as the first, but it's still fun!On Friday, December 1, 1989, Bob Geldof called Pete Waterman to ask if he would consider producing a new version of “Do They Know It's Christmas.” Waterman was part of The Hit Factory, a production team made up of himself, Mike Stock, and Matt Aiken. They were known for hi-NRG or Eurobeat style, with tempos usually somewhere between 102-140bpm, four-to-the-floor kick drums, staccato hi-hat, and bass lines frequently looped with fast eighth or sixteenth notes doubled at the octave. In fact, they produced 13 UK #1 singles and 3 US #1s. Waterman even postponed his wedding and rallied several artists together.Subsequently, on Sunday, December 3rd, the assembled artists recorded at PWL Studios in South London. Bob Geldof and family were present. On Tuesday, December 5th, the updated version was played for the first time on London's Capital Radio, 95.8 Capital FM. Advanced sales reached 500,000 copies, and the single was officially released on December 11th. It spent 3 weeks at #1, though Band Aid's original hit spent 5 weeks at #1 and sold over 2 million copies (which was approximately $24million in sales).Kylie Minogue? Check. Bros? Yep. Cliff Richard? A little out of place, but he was definitely there!

Aled Jones has been famous since he was only 13, when he was a choirboy at Bangor Cathedral in North Wales with a beautiful voice. In this interview he tells Gyles about his first ever public performance, in a village hall on Anglesey; about how he was discovered and asked to record an album, and about his incredible, and rapid, rise to fame. The next 4 years were a whirlwind - trips to London to be on Wogan, best-selling albums and Top of the Pops, a concert in the Hollywood Bowl in LA, singing at Paula Yates and Bob Geldof's wedding - Aled tells Gyles about all this, and about how his down-to-earth parents supported him and kept his feet on the ground.
