Soft Option play Live Aid 1985

Bob Geldof may have put on the big show, but in 1985, it was gigs like these at a Liverpool All Boys school which really turned a famine into a feast. 50p to get in. Three bands plus two last minute write-ins added in biro including a solo performance by Joll Benn who went on to greater things as the anti-piracy Tsar in the UK. Headlining, it is the one and only Soft Option, a legendary band, and favorite of this site, showing that they were not just in it for the money.
