I’m really pleased to announce that I’m going on an expedition to the Arctic with Cape Farewell. They are a charity working to create a cultural response to climate change. They are taking a 40 strong crew of musicians, artists and scientists on a 12 day trip to Disko Bay on the West coast of Greenland.
The boat will voyage across the front of the Jakobshavn Glacier, one of Greenland’s largest glaciers. It is moving at an alarming rate, faster than ever before, losing 20 million tons of ice every day.
Some of the artists on board include Laurie Anderson, Vanessa Carlton, Jarvis Cocker, Feist, Robyn Hitchcock, Ryuichi Sakamoto, KT Tunstall, Martha Wainwright, Marcus Brigstocke and Lemn Sissay.
We set sail in four weeks time. I’ll be blogging and sending updates to this site live from the voyage. So far I have not really had a moment to think about it. But I need to get myself a warm jacket!
