Sound Wave No 8 – Wake Me Up

Good morning, afternoon and evening to all my listeners. This week was a little bit shambolic but maybe that’s the charm of Steph’s Sound Wave. Technology, furniture and weather may not have been on my side on Sunday but the show went forward, be it slowly and chaotic, with the usual stuff that I hope you all enjoy.

The entertainment news this week came from the one and only Sir Bob Geldof and his troop of merry missionaries. Band Aid 30 was announced this week, 30 years after the original was released in 1984 raising over 150 million USD for famine relief  in Ethiopia. The star studded line up, including One Direction, Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, Bastille, and of course Bono to name but a few, arrived at a studio in London on Saturday to record an updated version of Do They Know it’s Christmas? to be edited and released in record time. The video and song premiered on Sunday, during the X Factor and is now available to download for 99p and will soon be available to buy in store with album artwork from Tracey Emmin. Although some controversy has surrounded it’s release and intention, the cause in which it fights for is one of great significance and importance. To buy the track and find out more go to https://www.bandaid30.com/

 

My good news this week came all the way from Canada and was appropriate for, and relating to the passing of Remembrance/Veterans Day. A chance encounter lead to the reunion of a veteran and the man whose life he saved nearly 70 years later. Canadian solider George Emmerson was stationed in Germany when he came across a starving man who had been liberated from a Nazi labour camp. Emmerson fed the man and gave him 2 chocolate bars that his parents had sent him. After the war he moved back to Canada and married, never knowing whether the man had survived or not. Last year 91-year-old Emmerson walked into his local furniture store in Whitby, Ontario, and struck up a conversation with the woman serving at the counter. After revealing he was a veteran, Hillie Carnegie told Emmerson the story of how her father had been saved from starvation by a Canadian soldier. He then told Carnegie his own story, and after describing how he had given the man 2 chocolate bars, she broke down. The man he had saved was here father, and Henk Meteselaar had moved to Canada after the war because of the soldier. They were now living in the same town, however Meteselaar has advanced Alzheimer’s disease and lives in a care home  in Oshawa – the same town where Emmerson lives. Go to https://www.itv.com/news/2014-11-12/incredible-coincidence-unites-veteran-with-man-whose-life-he-saved-nearly-70-years-earlier/ to see the moment they were reunited. 

My Track of the Week this time was the Children in Need single by Gareth Malonie’s All-Star Choir, Wake Me Up. Another amazing cause and one which you can donate to by going to https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/3GcB6pTQ6QpNLFKFy0RC8JP/gareth-malone-forms-an-all-star-choir-for-the-official-bbc-children-in-need-single
