Critics Review
Fascinating … a unique insight into the day, and the decade.
Fascinating … a unique insight into the day, and the decade. * Observer *Live Aid was such an utterly humungous phenomenon that, in many ways, it came to define our memories of an entire decade … Dylan Jones [is] perfectly poised at the heart of it all to give us an electric and sometimes eye-opening account. * Star magazine *Hugely pleasing … Dylan Jones looks at the Eighties through the prism of Live Aid. * Evening Standard *This is a bumper Live Aid book containing a wealth of backstage anecdotes which paint a candid view of the 1980s pop aristocracy. * Herald *
