'The excitement is building'

Jo Phillip is an organiser of the Live 8 concert being held at Murrayfield on July 6. She says:

"I'm in a cab going to meet Bob Geldof at Waverley station in the next 5 minutes. Edinburgh city centre is not deserted, despite all the fuss and anarchy yesterday, which was all very tedious.

"But people are out and about and now we're heading into the last 24 hours. Murrayfield is turning from a sports stadium to a concert venue. There are lots of soundchecks and drumming and other rock and roll activities going on. The excitement, you might say, is building.

"We've just heard that George Clooney is coming tomorrow, and Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins are on the train with Bob. It's all very exciting, but all very frantic."
