Read and listen. All the money went to charity Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof was born on 5th October 1951 in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. When he left school, Bob Geldof became a journalist and then became the lead singer of the band The Boomtown Rats. They had many hits, including Lookin’ After Number One, Rat Trap and I Don’t Like Mondays. Then in 1984 there was a terrible famine in Ethiopia, and he had the brilliant idea of getting famous rock stars like Sting, Bono, and Paul McCartney together to form a group called Band Aid. All the profits from their single Do They Know It’s Christmas? went to help famine victims. The following summer he organised the Live Aid gigs in London and Philadelphia, which millions of people all over the world watched on TV. Again, all the money they raised went to charity. New Horizons Digital 2 • Unit 6 p.53 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE On 2nd July 2005, just before the G8 summit in Edinburgh, Bob Geldof organised Live 8 to try to make the world’s richest countries cancel every Third World country’s debts. There were free gigs in cities all over the world, with artists including Madonna, Elton John and Robbie Williams. Geldof married British TV presenter Paula Yates in 1986 and they had three daughters, Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie. After Yates and Geldof separated, all their daughters grew up with him. The Queen made him Sir Bob Geldof in 1986. New Horizons Digital 2 • Unit 6 p.53 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE.

John Pizzarelli and Freddy Cole: Celebrating the Centenary of Nat
TD Jazz Concerts John Pizzarelli and Freddy Cole: Celebrating the centenary of Nat King Cole @ 100 Thursday, February 14, 2019 at 8:00pm Pre-concert Talk at 7:00pm This is the 913th concert in Koerner Hall John Pizzarelli, vocals & guitar Mike Karn, bass Konrad Paszkudzki, piano Freddy Cole, piano & vocals Elias Bailey, bass Randy Napoleon, guitar Quentin Baxtor, drums John Pizzarelli World-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli, established as one of the prime contemporary interpreters of the Great American Songbook, has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles. Having concentrated on the music of Paul McCartney, Johnny Mercer, and Frank Sinatra over the last two years, Pizzarelli has returned to the bossa nova of Jobim with his 2017 release Sinatra & Jobim @ 50. With co- vocalist Daniel Jobim, grandson of the legendary Brazilian composer, the two explore songs Sinatra and Jobim recorded, as well as add new songs flavoured with the spirit of the classic Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim album. Pizzarelli has toured North America, South America, Asia, and Europe, performing shows centered on Frank Sinatra’s centennial, the songs of Johnny Mercer, and a McCartney program, in which his quartet is joined by strings and a horn section. He also tours on a double bill with pianist Ramsey Lewis. While plenty of jazz greats influenced his work, Nat King Cole has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years. He devoted two albums to his music, Dear Mr.

Music Video Goes Global
Jeremy Harry Harris always wanted to be a musician. However, when he was younger his parents said he needed a job with prospects. He joined the army, but at 21-years-old, he had an accident during a parachute jump. My parachute failed to open correctly during a 330 metre descent. I fell to the ground too fast. I came down and hit my head and damaged my eye. Then followed two and a half years of rehabilitation. Jeremy Harry Harris - Singer Jeremy turned to his music and singing after losing his sight in one eye The accident meant Jeremy lost his sight in his right eye. Rather than dwell on what he'd lost, he felt this as a sign to throw his energy into something else. That meant returning to his first love of music and singing. Music video goes global Fast forward twenty-two years and Jeremy is now an accomplished musician and singer, touring America and South America several times over. Now at the age of 44 he's an award winner - securing a film festival award for his music video 'Shout Down the Silence.' Jeremy has toured globally as a singer and musician “You could say music became my therapy. My instrument of choice is the guitar and drums but in recent years I've moved across to singing,” he explains. Jeremy's first band 'Stone Circle' was very popular in Cuba and gathered a huge following there. He also formed an INXS tribute band called 'New Sensation' touring throughout Australia. While he never met Michael Hutchence he has been lucky enough to meet and perform for Sir Bob Geldof at his request.

MTO 11.4: Spicer, Review of the Beatles As Musicians
Volume 11, Number 4, October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Society for Music Theory Mark Spicer Received October 2005 [1] As I thought about how best to begin this review, an article by David Fricke in the latest issue of Rolling Stone caught my attention.(1) Entitled “Beatles Maniacs,” the article tells the tale of the Fab Faux, a New York-based Beatles tribute group— founded in 1998 by Will Lee (longtime bassist for Paul Schaffer’s CBS Orchestra on the Late Show With David Letterman)—that has quickly risen to become “the most-accomplished band in the Beatles-cover business.” By painstakingly learning their respective parts note-by-note from the original studio recordings, the Fab Faux to date have mastered and performed live “160 of the 211 songs in the official canon.”(2) Lee likens his group’s approach to performing the Beatles to “the way classical musicians start a chamber orchestra to play Mozart . as perfectly as we can.” As the Faux’s drummer Rich Pagano puts it, “[t]his is the greatest music ever written, and we’re such freaks for it.” [2] It’s been over thirty-five years since the real Fab Four called it quits, and the group is now down to two surviving members, yet somehow the Beatles remain as popular as ever. Hardly a month goes by, it seems, without something new and Beatle-related appearing in the mass media to remind us of just how important this group has been, and continues to be, in shaping our postmodern world. For example, as I write this, the current issue of TV Guide (August 14–20, 2005) is a “special tribute” issue commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the Beatles’ sold-out performance at New York’s Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965—a concert which, as the magazine notes, marked the “dawning of a new era for rock music” where “[v]ast outdoor shows would become the superstar standard.”(3) The cover of my copy—one of four covers for this week’s issue, each featuring a different Beatle—boasts a photograph of Paul McCartney onstage at the Shea concert, his famous Höfner “violin” bass gripped in one hand as he waves to the crowd with the other.

The best part of the mini-version of "They're Playing Our Song," the climax of Saturday's pops concert in Kleinhans Music Hall, was watching the back of Marvin Hamlisch's head. That was because comedian Robert Klein, in his irresistible yappy way, reminded us how the show, which was a success on Broadway a couple of decades ago, was based on Hamlisch's own romance with Carole Bayer Sager. So as we heard the songs from the show, it was hard not to look at Hamlisch, and think: This is all about him! What can it feel like, having your own personal feelings laid bare for this big sold-out Buffalo audience to see? Hamlisch, planted on the podium solid as an ox, didn't seem to mind. But still. The night was full of various kinds of drama. Klein got about 20 minutes to himself for stand-up comedy and song, and it was great fun, even if it was geared frankly toward an older crowd. His opening song, about colonoscopies, brought the house down. Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Lucille Ball, was also endearing.
