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.
