Meet Steve Hurrell, the man who captured behind-the-scenes photos of the Band Aid recording in 1984
Shocked by television news reports of a famine in Ethopia, musicians Bob Geldof and Midge Ure brought together the top artists of the time and recorded the iconic Band Aid charity single, Do They Know It’s Christmas?
Recorded on November 25th, 1984, this year marks the 40th anniversary of its release.
The single famously featured stars such as Bono from U2, Boy George, Phil Collins, Bananarama, Simon Le Bon, George Michael and many more, who all performed for free.
Stroud-based photographer Steve Hurrell tells Faye Hatcher how he played a part in the recording of the iconic whilst working for film production company Tattooist International.
Since his retirement Steve has concentrated his photographic skills on wildlife photography in and around Stroud and sells prints and greetings cards at The Shambles Market, Stroud, on Fridays.

    I am in Australia. Are you saying that dead Rock Star (many of them died on drugs) and decadent celebrity material sell for more £ than the Word of God? No wonder Great Britain is in deep trouble. This book is priceless. The auctioneer should know that this book should be restored and placed in a museum. Christian British people should all pray for your country to repent and return to God. You are about to lose it. Fight for your beautiful country at the cross of Jesus Christ. Pray for a miracle from God to send you a righteous leader.

    When first bound, this book was probably worth a couple of years wages for a well heeled clerk. It was the treasure of a community and I suppose it would have been read to people who hung on each word. It obviously remained in a rectory/ vicarage for many years having been passed down from one priest to another before being shelved in favour of a new volume/ translation. Sad to think that it is apparently worth almost nothing today by comparison.

    The consensus of major conservators today is that books such as this should be handled with bare hands rather than gloves. Bare fingers are far more sensitive than gloved ones, and are proven to handle the books more gently. Transferring oils from human fingers to the pages is just a ridiculous myth. "Avoid gloves for most books: Wearing gloves can actually damage books and make it harder to handle them: Gloves can dull your senses. Gloves can tear pages. Gloves often carry more dirt than clean hands. Gloves SHOULD be worn when handling materials that are marred by the natural oils on skin -- this includes photographs and film, metals, ivory -- and whenever there is a suspected health hazard (e.g., mold).
