"I treasure this photo of him with my bandmate Charlie Burchill and me. For me, the underlying musical power of ‘Mandela Day’ will always convey more than words how much of an inspiration Nelson Mandela was to us and so many of our generation.” - Jim

In June 1988, Simple Minds took the stage at Wembley Stadium for the historic Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute.

It tells the story of Nelson Mandela’s journey from activist to political prisoner, and the global movement and musical activism that helped secure his freedom. If you're in the UK, you can watch the full documentary on Channel 4 via the link below. channel4.com/programmes/fre…

Jim has contributed to a new three-part @Channel4 documentary series, Free Nelson Mandela. Directed by James Rogan, the series features interviews with Mandela’s family and key figures from his life, alongside artists including Peter Gabriel, Bono, and Jerry Dammers.

The band return to Radio 2 this year, performing in Stirling as headliners of #R2InThePark on Sunday 13 September. Tickets here: bbc.co.uk/backstage/radi…
