International Literature Festival Dublin are delighted to welcome Bob Geldof to the 2020 Festival in a special In Conversation event which will take place on 16 May as part of ILFDublin. As an author, political activist and internationally-renowned co-founder of the hugely successful Band Aid and Live Aid famine relief initiatives, it’s important to remember that Bob Geldof is also a wonderful songwriter and the lead singer of legendary Irish band The Boomtown Rats. With the upcoming launch of Tales of Boomtown Glory, a collection of the complete lyrics from The Boomtown Rats and his solo albums, Tales of Boomtown Glory includes an introduction and 25 song stories written by Geldof, plus unreleased material from his notebooks and background stories to the songs.
