Bob Geldorf

“Everyone saw the news, and were revolted and ashamed and angered by it, but nobody quite had an outlet for that passion.”

Bono - U2

“I just knew we were part of something... It began a journey for all of us from what you might call charity to what you might call justice.”

Freddie Mercury

“The point of this concert is to wake people up to starvation and famine - to make everyone realise what’s going on, and do something positive that will touch people.”

Midge Ure

“People were throwing open their doors and having parties. It was like Hogmanay in Glasgow. People were inviting complete strangers in off the street. This is London, that just doesn’t happen. But it happened that night.”"

FREDDIE MERCURY – QUEEN – FIST 2 - LIVE AID WEMBLEY 1985

Bob Geldorf

“Queen were absolutely the best band of the day. They played the best, had the best sound, used their time to the full. They understood the idea exactly, that it was a global jukebox.”

Mark Knopfler

“…no sound check or anything like that but it really doesn’t matter because the feeling was so great. I think the crowd have been fantastic. The band are all delighted to have been able to do our bit for such a fantastic cause, and speaking personally I hope it’s not the end of all this. I hope that a lot more can be done.”

“It’s not about charity, it’s about justice.”

Roger Daltry

“Bob Geldof is quite a slick talker: “If you get together, you will really help us get other people on board by the Who being there. Will you do this?” You can’t say no to those things. ”

Nik Kershaw

“I do remember the nice feeling with that many people. It’s difficult getting 80,000 or so in a stadium without there being some kind of undercurrent or tension. There was none of that at all; everybody was just pleased to be there and knew they were part of something big.”

Francis Rossi – Status Quo

“There was something totally unique and I’m not sure I’ve ever felt it since. They weren’t just people paying to see a show; they were part of it. There was such a euphoric feeling in that arena.”

GOT THE T-SHIRT 1 – LIVE AID WEMBLEY 1985

Rebellion indefatigably confronts evil, from which it can only derive a new impetus. Man can master in himself everything that should be mastered. He should rectify in creation everything that can be rectified. And after he has done so, children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort man can only propose to diminish arithmetically the sufferings of the world. But the injustice and the suffering of the world will remain and, no matter how limited they are, they will not cease to be an outrage.

Albert Camus

“Politics aside, the actual day itself was wonderful... I think at that time it was something that was really from the right place. Everybody did it from the heart.”

Paul Weller

“I’m still searching for meaning and want to believe in something greater than me. Maybe it’s an age thing. When you see the state of the world, what a mess it all is. It’s about having something to hold on to, I think. You haven’t got to be a Christian, you just have faith in something else beyond the cruelty and the disgusting behaviour of the humans. Look for the good in things.”

DAVID BOWIE - LIVE AID WEMBLEY 1985 (dancing)

Paul Weller

“Am I against genocides and ethnic cleansing? Yes, I am, funnily enough. I can’t understand why more people aren’t up in arms about what’s going on. We should be ashamed of ourselves, I think. One minute you’re supplying bullets and bombs and guns, and then you’re sending over food. How does that work?”

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one."

John Ruskin
