Evaluation of my project so far (1)

I have changed my main title of my EPQ and now it will focus more on question of whether or not Live Aid could happen again.   I found out about the acts of the day and how Geldof managed to recruit them, I also found out the achievements of the event, e.g. the amount raised.  September-   I plan to s tart looking into articles focused on how Live Aid was run, this means focusing on the venue and what possibly went wrong.
