creating the biggest gig ever?

1 day, 5 countries;
britain, france, germany, italy, USA

why are they doing it?

”we dont want peoples money, we want people to come and make a difference” says bob geldof

music men and women try to get everyone to come to protest at the G8 meeting (the gathering of the 8 leaders of the worlds richest 8 nations) in scotland to help erradicate world poverty
check out films, audio, and much links on BBC site

surely this is a massive logistical task, Scottish homes are being opened up, mosques, churches, community halls are all opening up to offer sleeping space for those coming to G8 protests
we will be going over to scotland with DISSENT, are there any of you invovled with the summers mobilisations, will any of you go to the free concerts, is this use of commercial popstars to try to raise awareness making any difference?
