The Impossible Show: Tsunami Relief Concert

The backstage story of a concert that should have been impossible. Three men in Cardiff attempted to organise a concert to raise 拢1 million for victims of the Boxing Day Tsunami, in just three weeks.

On Boxing Day 2004, tragedy struck south east Asia. As the world watched on in horror, the level of devastation caused by a deadly tsunami tidal wave became clear. Thousands were missing, entire communities destroyed and 14 countries were in desperate need of international aid.

Seven thousand miles away in Cardiff, the manager of the Millennium Stadium, Paul Sergeant, watched the news coverage in shock. Surrounded by the comforts of Christmas, he was moved to raise money for the victims of the disaster. With an empty stadium at his disposal, an idea dawned on him. What if Cardiff could host an emergency fundraising concert?

There was one big catch. It had to take place before Wales's first match of that year's Six Nations - just three weeks away.
