Howard Lake | 4 January 2005 | News
A major fundraising concert is being planned for 22 January 2005 to be held at Cardiff’s 70,000-seat Millennium Stadium to raise funds for the Asian Tsunami earthquake disaster appeal.
The event is already being dubbed “Live Aid II” by some newspapers, such is its planned scale. U2 and Robbie Williams are both reported as likely participants.
First Minister Rhodri Morgan commended the suggested event, after confirming that the National Assembly of Wales did not have the legal powers to make a donation itself to the emergency appeals.
