SIR BOB GELDOF - GELDOF SETS DATE FOR LIVE AID II

SIR BOB GELDOF - GELDOF SETS DATE FOR LIVE AID II: "SIR BOB GELDOF has organised his LIVE AID II concert to coincide with this year's (05) G8 summit - to put pressure on US president GEORGE W BUSH. LIVE 8 will be held free at London's Hyde Park on 2 and 3 July (05), and is intended to encourage the American leader to end poverty in Africa when he meets the world's most powerful leaders in Scotland on 6 July (05). A source tells British newspaper THE SUN, 'Geldof has taken on one of the biggest projects of his life with this - but it's a brilliant idea. 'He's the only man who could pull it off and it is the best way of forcing Bush, Blair and the heads of the world's most powerful countries to put their money where their mouths are. 'It will be the biggest ever political lobby for the poor people of the world."
