24:35Now PlayingSeven to One gives seven young members of the public the opportunity to interview a guest of their choice, and to pose the kind of questions that professional interviews rarely ask.
In this edition, business analyst Mary Cockcroft, car worker Keith Fraser, PE teacher Pam Griffin, housewife Lisa Halstead, artist Gary Jackson, actor John McIlvride and undergraduate Mark Renton quiz the Boomtown Rats outspoken frontman, Bob Geldof.
Does Bob see the Boomtown Rats as being part of the new wave movement? Who are the Boomtown Rats chief influences? Is the music industry guilty of exploiting young people? How does he feel about merchandise? Why is he in the rock and roll business? What is it about The Lone Ranger that appeals to him? Does he feel stifled by the demands of the record industry? How do the rest of the Boomtown Rats feel about his forthright personality - does it ever cause rifts in the band? His
band has a song called "Looking Out For Number One" - is that a philosophy that he personally believes in?
