Ah but how much has the G8 summit and the Make Poverty History campaign been discussed as a result. Sod the crap bands (and yeah Bob, no African acts cos it's about big name draws, that's why the Boomtown Rats played... ) Whatever, Africa and the historic injustices against it, are on the mainstream agenda in no small way.
