Written in 1986, just after "Live Aid", we are taken through Geldof's early life and his time with the "Boomtown Rats". We are then witness to his horror at the famine in Africa and how he decided to do something to help.

Interesting and entertaining whilst thought provoking. Worth the read.

Release planned for Saturday, July 17, 2004 at BCUK 2004 Unconvention @ Apres Bar, Summerrow in Birmingham, England Controlled Releases.

On a table somewhere!

Picked off the table at the Unconvention

I have to be honest and I skipped a lot of the beginning of this, I just couldn't seem to get into the story of Geldof's life. I read everything surrounding Band Aid and Live Aid and found it an utterly fascinating look at the formation and the work Geldof put into this. It was thought-provoking but also melancholic to read as, in reality, after almost 20 years, the situation in Africa doesn't seem to have improved all that much.

RELEASE NOTES:

This was caught yesterday at the Newcastle meet, and I am now releasing it in my OBCZ in the box in the Bayley Room. If you are reading this and have the book, please add your comments now...

This was caught by someone random and not journalled :(
