Live8

Having the benefit of Freeview, I flicked around the other events, instead of just watching the main Hyde Park concert. Initially the Eden Project event looked very bare as the crowd at the front wasn't more than about 10 deep in the afternoon. By the night it was much more packed.

There was an excellent band from Senegal called Daara J doing African Hip Hop that got the crowd bouncing and joining in, probably more so than in London. The BBC have a page on the band as well.

Wrasse Records always seem to have a great list of artists on its books.

Funniest moment was watching Snoop Dogg shouting out "Make some mother f*cking noise!" then the camera pans to a 6 year old girl on her dads shoulders waving her hands up in the air.
