Antarctica gig lined up for Live Earth concerts

Friday, 15 June 2007
OK, so they're not rock stars. But scientists with the British Antarctic Survey will guarantee Al Gore's promise that the Live Earth concerts on July 7 will be performed on all 7 continents. They'll be performing during the dead of winter at the Rothera Research Station. In fact, it'll be the first time anyone outside the station has heard the indie rock-folk band, Nunatak, play at all. (Nunatak, by the way, is a Greenlandic word that means an exposed summit of a ridge mountain or peak within an ice field or glacier.) The band's live audience won't be very big, either. Just the 17 colleagues who are manning the station during the harsh Southern Hemisphere winter. Going where no Antarcticans have gone before, the band will even dare to perform outside, on the ice. Temperatures could get chilly: -15 degrees Fahrenheit is not unlikely, and a wind chill would cool things off even more. Lighting conditions won't be optimal either: July is marked by twilight during most of the day. Gore personally reached out to the band, not that he had many alternatives. "We were invited by former Vice President Gore, who has followed our research for some years and knows us," says BAS spokeswoman Linda Capper.

ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 12 Al Gore did a little marketing in Turkey Tuesday for the Live Earth concert to be held at the Seven Towers Fortress this summer. Joining the former U.S. vice president for the news conference were representatives from World Wide Fund for Nature Turkey, The Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion, Reforestation and the Protection of Natural Habitats, according to a Live Earth news release. Global organizer Kevin Wall founded the Live Earth concert series, which will bring together more than 100 of the world's top acts to play to more than 2 billion people. "Music is an international language that has the power to move people," Wall said. "Live Earth's 24 hours of music spanning all 7 continents will move people in every corner of the planet to take action against global warming." The 24-hour Live Earth concert series July 7 will start in Australia before moving on to Japan, China, Turkey, South Africa, Britain, Germany, Brazil and the United States.
