History of Band-AidHistory of Band-Aid Band Aid...

It all started when Bob Geldof, who had seen Michael Buerk's news reports in 1984 about the appalling famine in Africa, felt he had to do something to stop the suffering. He and Midge got together and wrote the song 'Do They Know It's Christmas' to raise money for the crisis. They then enlisted a host of other stars to record the song under the name of Band Aid. Released on December 7, 1984, the single became the UK's biggest selling single of the time and raised millions of dollars.

Live AidLive Aid

An idea of a concert...

Following the success of Band Aid, Bob Geldof visited Ethiopia to oversee the distribution of aid and realized that if the Band Aid organization owned its own fleet of trucks to transport much-needed supplies, they would be in a better position to have a more direct impact on the famine. So the idea of a concert was born, and in just 10 weeks the project of Live Aid was put together - and that was in the days before E-mail and mobile phones!
