The British benefit shows had initially been comedy events featuring comedic performers. But from 1979 onwards, the UK shows started to include cameo appearances by some of Britain's most prominent rock musicians - including Pete Townshend, Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, Bob Geldof, Donovan, Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, Kate Bush and others. The Human Rights Concerts were developed with the intention of building on this new support for Amnesty among musicians and channelling it into a series of rock concerts and tours.There were four distinctive sets of concerts in the series:• A Conspiracy of Hope – six concerts in the USA in June 1986 • Human Rights Now! – twenty concerts held worldwide in September–October 1988 • An Embrace Of Hope – two concerts in Santiago, Chile in October 1990 • The Struggle Continues... – one concert in Paris, France in December 1998".
