Orkney renewables firm takes centre stage at UK’s first major music event since Covid-19

An Orkney renewable energy contractor took centre stage last week at the UK’s first major music event since the start of the pandemic.

Multi-award winners Coldplay performed and recorded their new single, Higher Power, on Leask Marine’s Numitor barge on the River Thames.

In order to accommodate the pop band, who have previously headlined Glastonbury and T in the Park, the vessel was kitted out with high-tech lighting systems, as well as playing and sound equipment.
