Hi, it's Nicola Cochlin. Young people have been making history for years, but we don't often hear about them. My brand new series on BBC Sounds sets out to put this right. In history's youngest heroes, I'll be revealing the fascinating stories of 12 young people who've played a major role in history and who've helped shape our world. Like Audrey Hepburn, Nelson Mandela, Louis Braille and Lady Jane Grey,

History's Youngest Heroes, with me, Nicola Cochlin.

Listen on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Krista Young, and this is a podcast from the Desert Island Discs Archive.

For rights reasons, we've had to shorten the music.

The program was originally broadcast in 2009.

Music My castaway this week is the impresario Harvey Goldsmith.

He was the organisational brains behind Live Aid in 1985 and Live Eight 20 years later.

From Bob Dylan to Led Zeppelin to Pavarotti, with pretty well every other name and music in between.

He's been one of our top promoters for more than 40 years.

His career has given him a unique insight into music history.

He was there, after all, when Keith Moon threw his first TV out of a hotel window.

Always passionate about what he's listened to.

His own instrument, he says, is the pocket calculator.

I just realized I had a talent for understanding music and what the public wanted.

I was always determined it wasn't just the artist's side, but I consider the public side when putting on a show.

Do tell me, Harvey, about the Keith Moon moment then

when he sacrificed his first telly.

What actually happened?

I think it was the Leicester Post House that we were at.

There was a swimming pool directly below.

He was on about the sixth or seventh floor or something like that.
