After watching harrowing news images from the Indian Ocean tsunami on Boxing Day 2004, Paul Sergeant, then manager of Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, was moved to raise money for the victims of the disaster.

With the help of two friends, he vowed to put on a concert in the capital in just three weeks – with no artists signed up. As Sergeant says in the film: “We all thought it was probably a crazy idea.”
