Join us as we ask these questions:

• Did Live Aid save lives?

• What are the problems with the song "Do they know it's Christmas?" (the clue is in the title)

• Where were the African artists at Live Aid? Was "fame" really the only thing that mattered in choosing the performers?

• Did all the aid go where it should or did some fall into the wrong hands? Does that matter?

• Far from helping Africa, did the Live Aid phenomenon create a Frankenstein? A view of Africa as broken and helpless? And with the west who caused the problem in the first place happy to pose as white saviours?  

As ever, it’s a thoroughly reasonable discussion.
