Globe told to reduce the noise

The recently opened Globe music venue in Cardiff has been ordered to undertake remedial soundproofing work following complaints by local residents to the council.

The venue offers live music up to seven days a week, with jazz, blues and roots music a major part of the programme.

Last month the Point in Cardiff Bay closed its doors, with the cost of additional soundproofing being claimed by its owners to be a contributing factor to the venue's demise.

The Globe has taken over hosting some of the acts which were due to play at The Point, so musicians and fans will be hoping it doesn't suffer the same fate.

In a statement the management said: "The Globe are aware of the issues that The Point have had over the past few months and are very conscious of ourselves being in a residential area.

"We are doing everything in our power to avoid any disturbances to our local residents."
