Its also great to see the debate that is emerging from it:
http://www.channel4.com/news/damon-albarn-band-aid-africa-music-blur-frontman-video
and starting about 22min in on this program > http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04sncx3/sunday-morning-live-series-5-episode-18
Also all the other creative efforts which are probably much closer to home and connected to local peoples thoughts and needs! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruYQY6z3mV8 this is exceptional!!
I just hope the UK artists are as enduring as Bob Geldof on this and related causes!
