Singer-songwriter and anti-poverty activist Bob Geldof speaks with Susie on the eve of his one-man show coming to New Zealand.

An Evening with Bob Geldof - Songs and Stories from an Extraordinary Life  promises a mix of acoustic music and personal stories, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the formation of The Boomtown Rats and the 40th anniversary of the historic Live Aid concert, which Geldof organised to raise funds and awareness for famine relief in Africa.

His show is on in Auckland on 28 March at Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre and Wellington on 29 March at the Michael Fowler Centre.
