Today angry Irish Muggle Bob Geldof unveiled his plans for Live 8, an amazing day of five live concerts in Europe and America that will raise awareness of global poverty. Most stunning of all was the news that magical group The Weird Sisters have been chosen to headline the event.
They will share billing with the likes of Madonna, Scissor Sisters and U2, but these will be more like support acts. Unlike those artists, the Sisters Weird will not be tied to just one venue but will utilise the international Floo Network to lead concerts in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and Philadelphia.
The Weird Sisters expect all five huge audiences to jig to the sound of their traditional bagpipes, lute and cello and may present a bonus show the following night in Cheam.
