Era il 1984 e Bob Geldof rimase sconvolto da un documentario trasmesso dalla BBC sulle vittime di una carestia che aveva colpito l'Etiopia quell'anno.

Un video con le più note star dell'epoca (da Bono ancora non in odore di 'santità' a George Michael . Da Sting a Simon Le Bon) fece il giro del mondo dando il [...]

With its indie minded approach Treasure Island is the closest you'll get to left of the dial when it comes to a music event of this size. Day One: Dance, Dance, Dance Day one (of two) was definitely the more colorful of the now three year old music festival. Think [...]
