Frist of all best wishes for Xmas to everyone around the world! Hope everything is nice and jolly as it should be at Christmas!

 

Speaking of Xmas I have found by accident a video of how the Band Aid “Do they know its Christmas?” recording was made exactly 40 years ago. It is a fascinating look into what went on. Interesting to see the technical side of it, organization, and see superstars when they are not in the limelight but simply interacting with each other.

 

Fascinating to see stars like Sting, Phil Collins, Bono . . .  introduced to each other for the very first time. All mega stars on their own, living in the same time frame but many of them never have met with the others. Never considered Boy George to be anything special, but he and Paul Young are really professional  in this video/in studio! Much more so than many other big stars in that studio.

 

Everyone remembers that it was all down to Bob Geldof but in fact the idea is from his wife Paula Yates and the true man who put it all together in his mind and made it all work was Midge Ure.

 

I know it is over an hour long, but I think it is worth spending that time! Or is it just me?

    

 

 

Most important, whatever you do, have fun!!!! at least in these few holiday days!!!  : )  : )   :)   : )

 

Best regards

Gabor
