It was a real shiny gig. I loved watching Pink Floyd do some classic numbers. And the rest of the artists. All good. What bugs me is some of the negative publicity - about not enough black artists, Did it do any good etc.

For me, the issue goes like this … developed nations are economically pissing on the poor, especially Africa, with unfair trade rules and insufficient aid for the desperate plight they are in. We can change that by a. having a big enough voice to shout to world leaders, and b. heed how we shop. And this 2nd point is as important as the first because money talks loudly.

Fairtrade isn‘t just a good idea; it’s a moral responsibility. If even 1% of the 6.5 Billion or whatever people who watched Live8 decided to buy Fairtrade, we'd have an economic and therefore social revolution.

Get artists the world wants to see, whatever their colour or creed (seriously no disrespect due) and get them to deliver a message the world needs to hear. Does it get more complicated than that?

Over.
