how much I wished that Bob Geldorf (sic) had included people from the Folk World

What is at issue is that no African musicans were included in the original line-up. Now they have been thrown the sop of their own concert, safely out of the way in some greenhouse in Cornwall. How fucking patronising. The aim of Live 8 (unlike Live Aid) is to raise consciousness, not money. There is not even the 'excuse' of needing to book so-called 'high profile' acts.
