The choir performed "5 Minutes to Midnight" a piece by Damon Albarn, directed by Hannah Eidinow with visuals designed by Robert del Naja (3D) of Massive Attack, also featuring contributions from Brian Eno. Five actors joined the choir in a cycle of meditations using public statements, quotations, reports and statistics on the British government's part in this debate.

"5 Minutes to Midnight" followed the launch of www.no-bomb.com, an anti Trident website.

Parry illuminated the stage with 12 LED battens, 8 Clay Paky AlphaWash 1200 moving lights and a selection of PARs – supplied by PSL - all of which he controlled with the Pearl. “This was the Pearl in its absolute element” he explains, “We had very little set up or programming time, so spontaneity was the order of the day – and the whole show was effectively busked – which is so easy to do using this console”.

The protest took place a week ahead of the crucial House of Commons vote on the government’s Trident renewal plan, designed to encourage people to examine the issues at stake.

Despite the biggest Labour backbench rebellion since the start of the Iraq war and massive public opposition, shored up by Conservative support in the Commons, the government pushed the Bill through. They have currently committed to spending approximately £20 billion on this complete insanity!
