Bob Geldof is incredibly well informed, not just about African famines and aid organizations, but also about London and Washington politics, global communications and business. His presentations are highly provocative and he uplifts and inspires audiences as he motivates through his own personal experiences and the lessons learned from Live Aid. Sir Bob Geldof is one of the highest ranked and most authoritative corporate speakers, conference keynote producers and after dinner speakers currently available.

 Geldof entered the music scene as a journalist on Canada's premier underground rock journal Georgia Straight. Further experience sharpened his prose and upon returning to Dublin, he formed the band The Boomtown Rats, one of the first acts to emerge during the punk/new wave explosion of 1976/77.  After a series of hits, including two UK number 1 singles, Geldof emerged as one of the most well known pop personalities of his era. Bob Geldof had always had an acerbic wit and provided excellent interviews with an energy and enthusiasm that matched any of his articulate rivals. After starring in the film of Pink Floyd's The Wall, he turned his attention to the dreadful famine that was plaguing Ethiopia in 1984.

After receiving a knighthood in June 1986 and publishing his autobiography, Bob Geldof recorded the solo album, “Deep In The Heart Of Nowhere”. His second album, “1990’s The Vegetarians Of Love”, was recorded in only five days and proved a hit with critics and fans alike. Bob Geldof returned to the music scene in September 2001 with his first new recording in over eight years, Sex, Age & Death..

By 1992 Bob Geldof had established himself as a highly astute businessman with his co-ownership of the television production house Planet 24; in the late 90s, founding online travel agent Deckchair.com, and in 1999 founding Ten Alps Communications.

Bob completed a TV series for BBC1 – “Geldof In Africa” where he traveled through West Africa (Ghana, Benin and Mali); Central Africa (Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda); and East Africa (Ethiopia, Tanzania and Somalia), and explored the continent that the rest of the world seems to be leaving behind. A DVD of the entire series was released in late 2005. Bob has produced a fabulous book, under the same name, as an accompaniment to the TV series, which was launched in May 2005.

At the forefront of Geldof’s public activities in July 2005 were the Live 8 concerts which took place in London, Paris, Philadelphia, Rome and Berlin. A sixth concert was organized on Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium four days later.

Recently released is the CD set of the complete collection of Geldof’s solo work “Great Songs Of Indifference”. Although much of his solo work was overshadowed by his tireless work for charity, the tracks on this album serve as a timely reminder of just how potent lyrically and musically Geldof can be, swaying from tribal electronica to Dylan-esque folk.

Amongst a number of recent recognitions, Bob received an honorary Doctorate (Doctor of Laws) from the National University of Ireland, was awarded the MTV "Free Your Mind Award" (Lisbon), the EPM Marketer of the Year Award (Los Angeles), The North-South Council Award (Lisbon) and the Nobel Man of Peace Award which was presented to him by Mikael Gorbachev at a ceremony in Rome in 2005.  Bob was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the 2005 European Hero's and made the front cover of their European Edition on 10th October 2005. In 2007 Bob Geldof was honoured by Newcastle University who awarded him a Doctorate of Civil Law at a ceremony with Gordon Brown MP, HE William Mpaka, Susan George and Dr David Golding. Bob was nominated seven times in succession for the Nobel Peace Award 2007.  The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) conferred Bob with an honorary Fellowship in May 2007 in recognition of his outstanding achievements and contribution to tackling the poverty of his fellow man. Bob was the recipient of the 2007 M100 Sanssouci Media Award.

In February 2008 Bob traveled with President George W. Bush to Africa on the President's farewell tour of the troubled continent and wrote a major feature article for TIME Magazine. Cameron Diaz joined Bob and Dave Stewart to record a song that the musical duo wrote for Pangea Day (10th May 2008) when Bob spoke at the TED Conference in Monterey, USA in March 2008. In 2009 Sir Bob was awarded the "Der Steiger Award" for his long standing contribution to the music industry at a prestigious award ceremony in Bochum, Germany.
