BBC REPORTED FAMINE IN ETHIOPIA 20 YEARS AGO TODAY
Band Aid song that rocked the world

The original Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" was conceived after a BBC News report about the famine in Ethiopia almost exactly 20 years ago - 23 October 1984. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3762998.stm


Michael Buerk's report opened the eyes of millions
Now, 20 years to the day a new version of the Band Aid charity single is being recorded with current stars.

Live Aid, the transatlantic concert that brought the cream of the world's music celebrities together, took place in July 1985.

A whole new generation has been born and grown up since then. No doubt the new version will be a great success. Good luck to them all.


An old friend of mine is in this 1985 photo. Sorry, no names. Heh. Don't you love secrets? They bug me :)
