Sorry when I say Tsunami Gig I mean the one to raise money for victims of the Tsunami that the Millennium Stadium (Cardiff) are hosting on Saturday (22nd Jan). I am very excited as I will get to see Eric Claption, Keane, Badly Drawn Boy, Snow Patrol (Arrghh!! ;D ), Manics and Kelly Jones all for £15! I will also be seeing (unfortunately) Liberty X, Aled Jones, Charlotte Church and Katherine Jenkins (who?!)  |

There's one in Bristol where Portishead are playing for the first time in Yonks. I'm really interested but not enough for a huge train fare though - why can't everything be in London like it normally is? |

So did you enjoy it then Nic ? I had a great time (though a little warning that Brian McFadden would turn up might have helped to plan the beer queue breaks...) One of the highlights for me was Snow Patrol - the whole stadium caught on & there was an electric atmosphere throgh there set. Run was amazing, with a sea of waving red lights across 65k people and mass sing-a-long. ;D It was an incredible sight - so a massive disappointment now I've seen the TV coverage of this. It looked pathetic with a few dots of white light scattered around  . Now I understand why the presenters stopped encouraging people to wave the red lights as the night went on - the TV cameras obviously couldn't catch them Liberty X failed to get any audience reaction at all, which was quite amusing. I think after hours of watching bands on stage playing instruments, a group of five dancers to a backing track didn't really work. It was surprising how late they were on too. (My brother being digusted that they came after Manic Street Preachers - but then he had expecetd everyone to leave after MSP anyway). A most striking audience reaction was the volume of booing for Tony Blair's recorded message  Eric Clapton's guitar at the end now has me digging out blues guitar CD's - it'll be Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher in the car this week |

Charlotte Church was received well -as was Aled Jones. Having the right nationality really helped |

Her reception was not ecstatic, but I really don't remember it being that bad. Must have been localised booing - I was a long way back and high up. I do remember being amused by the streams of people moving down the aisles to take a break when Raghav was on  Indie/Rock bands went down best as far as I could see -but maybe that was my slightly biased viewing ;D |

Charlotte Church was booed early on when her name was mentioned but she wasn't actually that bad. Same can be said for Aled Jones I suppose who I wasn't looking forward to seeing either.
Best act by far were Snow Patrol. Shame the lights didn't show up on screen because it was amazing in the stadium. ;D
Having never seen the Manics or Stereophonics/Kelly Jones I was very impressed by their sets. ;D
Have to say the biggest let down for me was Eric Clapton's set with Jools Holland, overhyped! I waited an extra hour just to see it and I really didn't enjoy it.
I have to say that I have now learnt not to complain about being cold because I sat through 8 hours of freezing temperatures and coped with it!
