1984

A look back at the music and news stories making the headlines in 1984, the year that saw Ronald Reagan win a second term in the White House and Glasgow launch its Miles Better campaign. Torvill and Dean took gold at the Olympics, and the Scottish rugby team won the Grand Slam for the first time since 1925. Eurythmics and Big Country were riding high in the charts, but by the end of the year news of the devastating famine in Ethiopia led to the formation of the supergroup Band Aid and the charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas.
