Jazz stars play to save the Globe

The Root Doctors, the Amigos and Wonderbrass are among the bands who have answered the call to perform fundraising gigs to save the Globe in Cardiff from closure.

The 350-capacity venue in Roath faces a bill of £25,000 for soundproofing after Cardiff council revoked its live music licence in the wake of local residents' complaints about noise.

The Amigos will be supporting Andy Fairweather Low on Sunday 31 January while the Root Doctors are the headline act on Thursday 4 February.

Wonderbrass will appear as part of a Meltdown Mardi Gras event on Tuesday 16 February.
