EDITORS COMMENTS
Pauline Black of The Selecter, a prominent figure in Coventry's music scene, joined the city's pop elite in an unforgettable concert dedicated to raising funds for starving children in Africa. This powerful event took place on the 19th of October 1985 at Lanchester Polytechnic and was aptly named Cov Aid. Inspired by Bob Geldof's Live Aid, this local initiative successfully gathered £3,200 to support the war against hunger in Ethiopia and Sudan. The photograph captures Pauline Black on stage during this remarkable performance that united some of Coventry's finest talents from the past decade. As part of the two-tone genre that emerged from this vibrant city, Pauline used her incredible voice and stage presence to captivate the audience and raise awareness about this urgent humanitarian crisis. This image represents not only a momentous musical occasion but also showcases how artists can come together for a greater cause. It serves as a reminder of Coventry's unwavering spirit and its commitment to making a positive impact beyond its borders. Memory Lane Prints presents this print as a testament to both Pauline Black's contribution to charity work and Coventry's rich musical heritage. Let it inspire us all to continue supporting worthy causes through our love for music.
