Hi,

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME... THEY HAVE TO KEEP THEIR PROMISES

This year billions of people around the world called for JUSTICE not CHARITY . We couldn't have made it clearer that we expect the politicians of this generation to start to sort out the scandal of stupid, immoral poverty.

And in the end, huge strides forward were made. If the promises made at the G8 are kept, then millions of lives could be saved. Over four million in 2010 alone.

We just want to say a huge THANK YOU for being there with us - have a brilliant Hanukkah, Yule, Makar Sankranti, Saturnalia, Eid ul-Adha Christmas, whatever… - and CLICK ON THE BOX below to send your own Greetings card to the G8 leaders to tell them they must keep their solemn promises. Remind them that if they do not, people will die of poverty, yes, but worse from our promise broken.

Don't let them tell you anything else

This stuff works

Have a peaceful New Year

Bob

Организатор Live 8 поможет британским тори бороться с бедностью

Сэр Боб Гелдоф назначен консультантом комитета по борьбе с мировой бедностью партии консерваторов Великобритании, сообщает BBC News.

Представители тори не стали скрывать своей радости по поводу оказанной Гелдофом поддержки комитету, о создании которого было объявлено на прошлой неделе. Консерваторы отметили положительное влияние, которое Гелдоф оказывает на молодежь.

Напомним, что Боб Гелдоф является одним из самых значимых общественных деятелей современной Великобритании. В прошлом известный рок-музыкант, Гелдоф организовал серию благотворительных концертов в поддержку беднейших стран Африки. В 1985 году на стадионе "Уэмбли" им был проведен музыкальный марафон Live Aid в пользу голодающих Эфиопии.

Второго июля 2005 года Гелдоф повторно осуществил свою идею. В преддверии саммита "Большой восьмерки" в 11 городах мира состоялся самый масштабный благотворительный концерт в истории - Live 8. В кампании по сбору средств для жителей Африки приняли участие практически все звезды современности: Пол Маккартни, Мадонна, Элтон Джон, Стинг, Робби Уильямс, группы U2, R.E.M., The Who, Pink Floyd и многие другие.

Сэр Боб Гелдоф неоднократно выдвигался на Нобелевскую премию мира и в этом году был удостоен награды "Человек мира", учрежденной нобелевскими лауреатами.

Герои Live 8 не получат награды за лучшее живое исполнение

Жюри престижной британской музыкальной премии Brit Awards не включило в короткий список претендентов на награду за лучшее живое выступление группу Pink Floyd и Робби Уильямса. Выступление легендарных рокеров и главной английской поп-звезды последних лет многие критики и зрители сочли ключевыми эпизодами благотворительного концертного марафона Live 8, прошедшего летом 2005 года, отмечает лондонская газета The Times.

Воссоединение Pink Floyd после 25-летнего молчания для выступления на Live 8 английская пресса назвала одним из важнейших событий года, но жюри премии Brit Awards решило вообще не рассматривать участников концерта Live 8 в качестве претендентов на награду за лучшее живое выступление. Часть участников жюри сочла, что 20-минутные выходы на сцену недостаточно убедительны для награды, которую вручают раз в год, а другие эксперты полагают, что Pink Floyd и Робби Уильямс были так ослепительны, что полностью затмили другие выдающиеся концерты, которым стоило бы уделить внимание.

В итоге в "коротком списке" претендентов в номинации за лучшее живое выступление числятся группы, как Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Coldplay и певица Кейт "KT" Танстолл (KT Tunstall).

Известно, что награду "За вклад" на церемонии Brit Awards 2006 получит основатель групп "The Jam" и "The Style Council" Пол Уэллер (Paul Weller).

Полный список претендентов в 15 категориях Brit Awards будет оглашен 10 января 2006 года, а церемония награждения пройдет 15 февраля.

Отметим, что Робби Уильямс является абсолютным чемпионом Brit Awards: он получил 14 премий за свою карьеру (три из них - в составе группы Take That).

McCartney brother shares gig photos
(Thursday June 29, 2006 11:41 AM)

The brother of Sir Paul McCartney has launched a book of behind-the-scenes photographs from last summer's Live8 concert in London.

Mike McCartney, a photographer and former member of 1960s band The Scaffold, is donating all the proceeds from the book to the Live Aid Trust.

The limited edition Live8 Coolpix book includes candid shots of stars such as Robbie Williams giving an unidentified woman a massage, as well as pictures of Sir Paul's estranged wife, Heather.

Mike, 62, who was cleared earlier this year of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old waitress, said the pictures were "just snaps from a family day out".

He added: "It began as a nice family day out in Hyde Park, but when you find yourself backstage at the greatest show on Earth and bump into Brad Pitt, Madonna, George Michael, U2, Annie Lennox, Bill Gates, the Beckhams, Kofi Annan, Paris Hilton, Robbie Williams, Snoop Dog, Peter Kay, Pink Floyd etc, it would be rude not to take their photo."

Only 1,000 editions of the book, which costs Ј60 for a signed copy and Ј30 unsigned, have been printed.

Copies will be available on eBay and from the O8 Place in Whitechapel, Liverpool.

Наверное, еще один Live 8 неизбежен. Боно недоволен лидерами G8, т.к. поставленные им перед ними цели списать долги стран третьего мира не выполнены. Отчет: http://www.thedatareport.org/

Mike McCartney's LIVE8 Cool Pics

BACKGROUND

DURING the summer of 2005 Mike McCartney was present at the main UK venue for the LIVE8 concert in Hyde Park in London. He was a guest of his brother Sir Paul McCartney and the show's organiser and founder Sir Bob Geldof.

Throughout the course of the event Mike took a series of private and quite personal photographs of the performers, the celebrities and other activities that took place over the day. They have formed a remarkable, if very intimate, photo diary of the event. Most of Mike's pictures are unique from the point of view that they were taken from within the 'golden areas' - those behind the scenes that were not accessible to the majority of press and official public relations photographers, and certainly no member of the public was able to visit them.

In many ways they are an astonishing and unusual 'unofficial' record of the day's activities, particularly considering Mike's special relationship with so many of the celebrities. He was able through those friendships and close links to photograph them at their ease and in'more natural poses' as they took part in what is regarded as the most astonishing showbiz gathering so far into this 21st Century.

Now many of his wonderful images are to be published in a special 'one off' photo-diary book that records and celebrates this particular aspect of LIVE8. A special limited edition of 1,000 copies is to be published by the Wirral based firm of Cities500 International Publishers, who also published Mike's earlier photographic anthology: Mike McCartney's Liverpool Life.

The luxurious LIVE 8 book has the endorsement and full support of both the event's creator Sir Bob Geldof and Sir Paul McCartney, both of whom have written personal forewords.

EXTRACTS FROM THE FOREWORDS

Paul McCartney - "Live8 was one of the greatest days of the year, possibly the decade. Bob Geldof telephoned me, explained the idea of Making Poverty History and aiming the concert at the G8 conference. I was sold. Bob's a great salesman.

"Luckily, my brother Mike was there with his trusty camera to record the day and capture many of the exciting backstage happenings. This book is made from a selection of those pictures and he and I are proud to have been there together and to have been a part of this momentous event."

Bob Geldolf - " God those bloody McCartneys. You ask one of them to pitch up - the musical genius one, and next minute the photographers, designers, guitarists, activists, mothers, babies, sisters, aunties, uncles and the rest all come and get stuck in. There must be something in that Liverpool mud.

Here's the brother's bit. The photographer, poet, hit songwriter one. He who captured perfectly a coming moment and a different age just before it happened with his Box Brownie or whatever. Who felt something long before everyone else. Who could hear the sound of it being born downstairs in the sitting room long before everyone else. And he shot it. Here he's at it again with his Box Brownie digital. Taking shots of maybe another age being born?"

ABOUT THE BOOK

The book in the first instance is in reality an additional fundraiser for Sir Bob's charity and linked to the LIVE8 theme 'Make Poverty History'.

* Cities500 - under the separate imprint of Woodland Publishing - is producing 1000 limited edition copies of the book.

* The aim is to commemorate and celebrate the LIVE8 event one year on --" hence Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Bob Geldof have endorsed Mike McCartney's concept of the book. He has worked in collaboration with and Cities599 to make available in book form those fabulous yet informal photographs taken behind the scenes during that remarkable day.

* The book helps to re-focus the attention of the world back to that G8 meeting in Edinburgh and the LIVE8 concerts that highlighted the plight of the hungry, disposed and needy of Africa some 20 years after the original LIVE AID concert.

* We believe it is a perfect opportunity to support the ethos behind the LIVE8 concept as well as being an ideal opportunity to further the largely philanthropic work of the musicians and others throughout show business: those who helped draw the world's attention to the desperate plight of Third World countries.

The book is to be officially launched by the Liverpool Capital of Culture Company on June 29th (2006).
