Bob Geldof’s Band Aid archive has arrived in Ireland.

An archivist will spend up to two years cataloguing memorabilia from the famous 1984 campaign for those affected by famine in Ethiopia, the National Library of Ireland (NLI) said.

The Boomtown Rats frontman is giving the Irish state hundreds of letters, artwork, poetry and musical recordings after it was accumulated in a warehouse in London.
