Sir Bob Geldof — Music as a Force for Change 

In the debut episode of Music, War & Peace, music journalist, broadcaster, and author Neil McCormick sits down with legendary Irish musician and activist Sir Bob Geldof for a powerful, no-holds-barred conversation about the intersection of music and global impact.

From the explosive birth of Live Aid to its unprecedented influence on international consciousness, Bob reflects on the moments that sparked a global movement — and how music became a megaphone for the voiceless. Together, Neil and Bob explore the enduring power of song to challenge authority, spark empathy, and push for peace in a turbulent world.

This is more than music history — it's a look at how rhythm and rebellion can change the world.
