[flip_flop]

Where's Geldof and Bono?

[Gromit]

They are putting the finishing touches to LIVE! SEVERN a series of fundraising concerts. Creedence Clearwater Revival and Mud have already said they will play.

It is tragically interesting to speculate how this will pan out. I watched an interview with a Thames-side resident, owner of a very large and very expensive house, who commented on the loss of two cars. Two cars. Nature is a great leveller.

[I.Don No]

if a concert is arranged how about Wet Wet Wet for the headline act....lol

[Gromit]

More artists have signed up

The Waterboys, Rainbow and Roger Waters.

The disaster is being handled in a very British way. On TV I see well wishers are delivering bottled water in green welly boots. In New Orleans 'certain elements of the community' were looting the shops.

[Whickerman]

The floods are a tragedy for the people involved, but they'll get over it. Hardly starving or being slaughtered, are they?

[Gromit]

More bands confirmed for LIVE! SEVERN

The Weather Girls
Seal
Surge Gainsbourg
Drain Eddy
The Dammed

[Panic Button]

The people affected have suffered enough.

Please don't inflict Bob Geldof on them.

[OBonio]

Nighswimming - REM has been added as a bonus track.

Maybe the vicinity of the floods prevented Looting.

When new orleans flooded an aid plane was sent over from Liverpool to assist with the looting.

[Reverandfunk]

Bono is currently working on his new project:

"Lets make every day before today history"


Tw@t

[China Doll]

And Bewitched will be getting together for the special event to do 'Blame it on the Weatherman'

Madonna will be closing with 'Rain'

< Shudders at the idea of Bewitched ever getting back togeter >

Flip_flop, I feel very strongly about this. The two characters you mention delight in being seen ' helping the suffering peoples of Africa' and gaining publicity and knighthoods for their 'good works.' Where are they now, when people in this country are in desperate need of help ?

Their motives are purely selfish and they make me sick.

[bensmum]

Just had a smile at reverandfunk's comment. I have to agree though but then helping out flooded England doesn't have the same appeal does it?
I'm not suggesting that aid is not desperately needed in developing countries but the English are pretty good helping out in disaster appeals and now our own country needs some help and some sort of acknowledgement from these high profile people would be welcome.

[dot.hawkes]

this would be my request
