Bob Geldof is a vocalist and artist and was a piece of the ¨Boomtown Rats¨. He was brought into the world in Ireland on 5 October 1951. He went to a private catholic school however educated the public that he didn't appreciate going to the school on account of its Catholic ethos and tormenting his absence of rugby abilities.
He was engaged with the Live Guide Show. Bob Geldof was one of the fundamental coordinators of the Live Guide show in Wembley Arena, London. It was held for 16 hours and was named a stone spectacle and was pointed toward fund-raising and mindfulness for Africa.
Midge Ure was an individual from the New Wave band Ultravox. He was the guitarist and singer for the gathering. Midge Ure was brought into the world on October 10, 1953, in Glasgow, Scotland. He was acclaimed for one of the hit melodies that he co-composed and delivered. The tune was ¨Do they Know It's Christmas?¨, which sold 3.7 million duplicates in the UK. The tune is the second most noteworthy selling single in UK outline history.
Along with bob Geldof they coordinated the Live Guide Show and delivered the single ¨Do they Realize It's Christmas?¨ Bob Geldof and Midge Ure were motivated by the predicament of starving youngsters that were generally seen on television. It was an unconstrained occasion with a large number of the most popular names in popular music welcomed. It turned into a moment blockbuster selling a record 3 million duplicates.
Do They Know It’s Christmas?
In October 1984, Bob Geldof visited Ethiopia to see their situation for himself. When Bob Geldof made his return he and Midge Ure of the group Ultravox produced the song ¨Do They Know It’s Christmas¨ and gathered up many different British Pop Stars and the name of Band-Aid to record it in time for the holiday release.
It was continued by holding two simultaneous 16-hour concerts in Philadelphia and London. Multiple artists like Paul McCartney and the band Queen received immense popularity during the concert. The concert raised $127 million and was broadcasted over to over 110 countries. Geldof, after the concert, went to Ethiopia to oversee the distribution of supplies, so that they're distributed fairly.
You could say that Live Aid was a form of protest. The concert was to raise awareness about the situation in Ethiopia and protests are done to raise awareness about a certain topic.
Artists organise different concerts all the time and since there has been a lot of topics that need to be raised so I think that artists could come together and raise awareness and raise money to donate.
