Albarn-on-Thames

The man of many bands, Damon Albarn played a new track " '5 Minutes to Midnight' - from the deck of the Greenpeace boat Arctic Sunrise, in protest against the Government's new 76billion Trident Nuclear Weapons system last night (March 9).

He told NME.com he hopes it encourages people to talk about important political issues. "Peer pressure," he says, "is the worst kind of censorship: you can't talk about it because it's not cool. Rubbish! We all have to engage."

The show also featured visual designs by Massive Attack's Robert '3D' Del Naja, with legendary producer Brian Eno also involved.
