Live Earth
Concerts for a climate in crisis

The Live Earth event on the 7th of July 2007 attracted a worldwide audience of 2 billion people, making it one of the largest global events in history. Spearheaded by former Vice President of the United States Al Gore and other activist celebrities, Live Earth showcased 150 of the worlds most popular artists and raise awareness of arguably the greatest threat facing mankind today.

In one of the biggest challenges in her career, Emer was engaged as Broadcast Producer for the Live Earth London show, staged at the newly relaunched Wembley Stadium. The role involved interfacing between the event production and the British host broadcaster (BBC) and international media.

Nick Wickham directed the coverage of the Sydney Live Earth show for Foxtel in Australia.

Kevin Wall, Live Earth’s Executive Producer, has this to say about Splinter’s involvement:

“I began my relationship with Emer through our work on Live 8 two years ago. Splinter has been instrumental in the co-ordination and production of some of Control Room’s most high-profile live shows in the U.K and Europe, including: John Legend, Foo Fighters, Pussycat Dolls, Kings of Leon, and more. This summer, we’ve included Splinter in our most aggressive music campaign to date, Live Earth. I’m thrilled to have Emer producing the broadcast of the Live Earth Wembley show, and to have Nick in the director’s hot seat for Live Earth Sydney.”
