Raises over a million

Organisers of the Cardiff tsunami-aid concert have raised £1.25 million and hope to add more through a commemorative CD and DVD.

Organisers of Saturday's tsunami-aid fund-raising concert at

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium have said they hope to better the

£1.25 million already raised, possibly with the release of a commemorative CD and DVD of the event. Keane, Snow Patrol,

Manic Street Preachers, Eric Clapton and Lulu were among the artists who performed at the mega seven hour gig, the biggest event of its kind in the UK since Live Aid.

The stadium's general manager, Paul Sergeant, paid tribute to the "phenomenal" response of the 61,000 music-lovers who bought tickets for the event, and the thousands more workers who volunteered to make it happen: "Everyone, from all the international artists who offered to play for free, to the production teams and countless volunteers, went flat out to make sure that the event was a day to remember as well as a massive fundraiser. We had a world-class line-up for what was a world-class event."
