Jim Kerr - Other Work

Other Work

Kerr helped organise a 90th birthday party for Nelson Mandela at Wembley Stadium, London on 27 June 2008. The event came 20 years after Kerr and Simple Minds played a role (releasing the single Mandela Day amongst other activities) in the 70th birthday concert (also at Wembley) which was held to demand Mandela's release. Mandela attended the 2008 event in person.
