Want to hear a secret?‏

It's nice to be able to let you all in on a secret.


Many months ago, when the Greenpeace ship Esperanza was taking action off the coast of Greenland to halt oil drilling, we had a very special assistant cook called Paul.
A few days ago Paul joined up with the Rainbow Warrior. Not as assistant cook, but as the bass player with Damon Albarn's super group 'The Good, the Bad and the Queen'. Because, as his ship mates were surprised to learn - Paul was the bass player in punk legends The Clash.
Now the secret's out, Paul's happy to talk about his time as a Greenpeace activist, the two weeks he spent in a Greenland jail for taking action against oil drilling, and why Greenlandic communities are waking up to the threat posed by the oil industry. Watch our exclusive interview with Paul Simonon, and footage of 'the Good, the Bad & the Queen' live on the Rainbow Warrior now.
