Katie Melua Concert Under the Sea

Description

On October 2nd 2006 Katie Melua performed a concert at the

bottom of the North Sea. This 66 minute documentary film tells the story of

that performance - from the conception of the dream by the gas platform

manager, the planning, Katie and her band's rigorous safety training, the

behind the scene logistics of moving 22 tonnes of equipment from land to

the bottom of the rig - and concludes with some footage of the actual

concert.



A stunning (and at times claustrophobic!) viewing experience, this exciting

non-fiction film shot in and off the coast of Norway sees world superstar

Katie Melua rising to a challenge. Invited by Statoil, the gas drilling

company, to celebrate their 10th anniversary on the biggest man-made

structure ever moved on Earth, Katie (after checking their environmental

record) agreed to perform on the North Sea floor at the foot of a leg of

the enormous drilling platform, thereby incidentally setting the Guinness

World record for the deepest underwater concert ever performed - 303 metres

below the sea.



The event was certainly a logistical challenge - 16 helicopters and 3

supply ships transported 22 tonnes of equipment plus crew the event and TV

production crew numbered 33 with Katie and her band and crew totalling 10.



In addition to the documentary film the DVD includes the following extras:
