Bob Geldof and Imelda May set to join forces to raise money for Ukraine

Bob Geldof and Imelda May have joined forces in the hope of raising money for the people of Ukraine in a major music event.

The superstars will perform tonight as part of Night for Ukraine, which will be held at the Roundhouse in Camden, north London with the funds raised being donated to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal to provide aid to people fleeing Ukraine.

The fundraising event echoes the famous benefit concert Live Aid, held in 1985 and organised by the Boomtown Rats singer, which aimed to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia.
