Bob Geldof: Band Aid and Live Aid co-founder on his legacy, show in Wellington this week - Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills

Bob Geldof is a musician, an activist, a charity man, and a Knight of the British Empire... despite being an Irishman.

He rose to fame as a member of The Boomtown Rats, but in 1984 an item on the 6 o’clock news sparked him to create one of the world’s most memorable charity drives; Band Aid and then eventually Live Aid, raising money to end famine in Ethiopia.

Geldof is in Wellington this week to share stories of his life and joined Nick Mills to discuss his legacy and what audiences can expect at Saturday's show at the St James Theatre.
