Anyone watching the making of Band Aid?

Well, are you?

Tears for Fears wouldn't do it. Not sure why.

they did the run the world thing though - there was someone who objected to the whole cause/event iirc

Ooh I remember that rumour, too!

was it new order,depeche mode or frankie

I didn't realise they moved the whole date for Springsteen and then didn't get him...!

sniffs

They did get him, UnquietDad - he sang Born In the USA I think and definitely paid for the Philadelphia stage.

(I love that man! Springsteen, not you, UnquietDad, don't panic!)

I am thinking Depeche Mode were the absent ones .....maybe Dave was not in a good way

That Bob/Harvey thing was atrocious

I was howling laughing. The actor playing Geldorf only had one expression- that of a stroppy nine year old who's just been told the plug's been cut off his X-box. The whole thing looked like a peculiarly humour-free episode of Star Stories.

it was that exactly and i couldn't recognize any of the other musicians in it - were there any??
apart from adam ants shoe

I liked it, but thought Marsha's hairstyles were far too modern. No one had scrunchies in 1985!

My memory may be playing tricks, but every source I can find states that Springsteen declined, for a variety of reasons...

seemed to be a lot of actors minus equity cards!

bring back Alison Moyet!

You're right, I'm sorry, Unquiet Dad - I'm thinking of We are the world - the American equivalent.
