I don't think L42's non-appearance at Live Aid was due to them not being 'big enough.' Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember reading that they had touring commitments already, and were unable to get out of it.

| Level 42 were invited to perform for Live Aid in the initial stages but as bigger, more well known bands offered their services Level 42 were pushed out.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a poster(s) of mark king slapping his bass, live shot preferably. I have a large space on my bedroom wall, longing to be filled (with my hero)(hubby unimpressed though!). Any help would be appreciated.

| Hello all nice to be here in Level Land AG I agree some of the topics leave alot to be desired however you have used examples from the "Off Topic Board" anything (within reason I would think) can be discussed there there have been some very interesting and lively discussions on the L42 board | ||

| Speaking of Live Aid, what about Band Aid? I don't recall the exact year that Band Aid recorded "Do They Know Its Christmas" (aka Feed The World), but it was early-to-mid 80's. In addition to the big headliners on that track (U2, Sting, etc.), there were definitely a number of smaller Brit acts. Plus, given that Midge Ure put it together, its surprising that MK and/or Level 42 weren't part of it. I remember that at the time this came out, it sort of served as a "who's who" of the 80's bands that I was into at the time. Any thoughts as to why Level 42 weren't part of it? cheers, Eric | ||

I've often wondered that if they actually appeared at Live Aid would they have been more successful thereafter? Who knows... Glyn. | ||

| I'm experimenting with some new software that generates online crosswords. Please try this Level 42-themed prototype, and let me know if you have any problems. I know this one is a bit large for users with small monitors, so you may have to do some scrolling. To make getting to the clues easier, just left-click on a box and the clue will be highlighted automatically. Right-click to switch between verical and horizontal words. Cheers - Z. | ||
