Shell Building, London, SE1 7NA, UK. 26th August, 2015. Charlotte Church performs outside Shell's HQ in London as part of a Greenpeace month-long musical protest to campaign against the company drilling for Arctic oil and to raise awareness of climate change. The song that Church hopes will move Shell employees is “This Bitter Earth”, a piece made famous in 1960 by the blues singer Dinah Washington. The month-long protest that Greenpeace is staging, with different groups – from brass bands to bagpipes – playing the same four-piece movement every day during August was inspired by the string quartet on the Titanic, who continued to play as the ship went down after striking an iceberg. Pictured: Charlotte Church is surrounded by the media prior to singing her protest song.
