Blimey. I’m not sure how time has slipped past so fast but, after a five week frenzy of Faslane blockading, crane climbing, arrests, solitary confinement, losing the ship, getting it back again, bearing witness, gigs, press conferences, political events, rallies and general sleep deprivation, the Trident: we don’t buy it tour has just come to an end.

The Arctic Sunrise set sail for Scandinavia a couple of hours ago, cheered on from the quayside by a smattering of exhausted Greenpeace folk and watched by the police boat that inevitably appears every time the ship moves.

The hospitality of Glasgow jails is a far cry from that of the Amazon, where I was working before joining the Arctic Sunrise as assistant cook come deck hand.

Performance on the deck of the Arctic Sunrise

A huge thanks to all the musicians, artists, crew and volunteers involved in last night's performance, and to everyone who came along to watch from the quayside - it was a special night here on the Thames!

Let the show begin

Getting ready for the gig on the Arctic Sunrise

The fun's about to begin. Our ice-breaker has been transformed into a fully-fledged music venue. Lighting rigs, speakers, microphones, mixing desks, screens and crates of cables (approximately as heavy as the core of the sun) have been manoeuvred down slippery gangways, onto floating pontoons and set up on the ship's helideck. The soundcheck is happening now - the latest event on our Trident: we don't buy it tour is ready to go...

The campaign against the government's proposed Trident nuclear renewal will take to the Thames tomorrow when the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise docked at Tower Bridge plays host to a 50 strong choir.
