Congratulations Cardiff!

January 23rd, 2005 by James

Cardiff managed to put on quite a show last night with the Tsunami Relief concert, apparently the biggest since Live Aid. Good going raising £1.25m in just one evening!

It was a bit of a journey trying to watch it on TV - flicking between BBC ONE, five, BBC TWO and BBC ONE Wales - but ultimately well worth it.

I’m sure it was a bit annoying for the residents of Cardiff, so thanks to all of you for putting up with it and supporting a cause which really seems to have gripped the country.

BBC Wales are hosting highlights of the concert on their website - well worth taking a look if you missed it on TV last night.

Asian tsunami

I’ve been holding off on this because it is such a difficult thing to write anything sensible and meaningful about, given the scale of the disaster.

Instead, I point you towards Silicon.com’s Weekly Round-Up.

It is a fantastic piece of writing, and sums up both the events and the feelings much better than I could.

If you haven’t already, please consider donating to the DEC’s appeal.
