Tsunami Relief Cardiff

After I left Cardiff, somehow, many things are happening there. Don't know. Japanese football player, Junich Inamoto, is one. He now belongs to Cardiff. I've missed it and am missing it now.

The other is this tsunami relief concert in Cardiff. If I still were in Cardiff, of course, I would have gone to the concert. Look at its lineup. Eric Clapton, Manic Street Preachers, Charlotte Church, Keane, Embrace, Craig David, etc. Umm, personally, I wanted to see Badly Drawn Boy and Snow Patrol.

Moreover, here is more news, which can makes me envy. Travis are confirmed to play at a Tsunami concert in Glasgow, Scotland. The concert will be hold on the 19th of February and includes Franz Ferdinand, Idlewild and others. Each of them is my favourite band.

I kept saying I envy those who can go to the concert, but this is at the simplest level and I understand this is for the victims of the tsunami disaster. I shouldn't have said like that and should have been stupid, but it is true that I hope this will help to raise money for the victims.

According to BBC, the concert was the biggest since Live Aid 20 years ago and raised £1.25 million on the night.
