When Harvey Met Bob

Two Men. Two Minds. One Mission.

WHEN HARVEY MET BOB is a feature-length drama written by Joe Dunlop and produced by Great Meadow Productions. Set in London in the winter of 1984 to the summer of 1985, the drama tells the story of the extraordinary relationship between Bob Geldof and Harvey Goldsmith as they brought about the historic and live-saving Live Aid event that took place 25 years ago, on 13 July 1985.

A drama about courage and conviction with compelling contemporaneous relevance, it is co-produced for BBC and RTÉ.

Domhnall Gleeson (Six Shooter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, RTÉ’s Your Bad Self,) stars as Bob Geldof and Ian Hart (Backbeat, This Year’s Love, Breakfast on Pluto) stars as Harvey Goldsmith. The cast also includes Antonia Campbell Hughes, Padraic Delaney, Owen Roe and Chris Dunlop.

Funny and moving, When Harvey Met Bob is a film about two men who are prepared to think the unthinkable and achieve the seemingly impossible.
