Mandela and Jamelia

It looks like Jamelia is now joining the trafalgar Square meeting for a one off gig in honour of Nelson Mandela.

Jamelia says:

“I certainly hope that thousands of people take an early lunch break this Thursday and join me in Trafalgar Square to witness Nelson Mandela’s support for the Make Poverty History Campaign. It is a true honour to be able to perform at this momentous occasion, not only for a man I greatly admire and respect, but also for the UK public and fans around the world”

Adrian Lovett of the Make Poverty History coalition said:

“The excitement about Mr Mandela’s visit is growing all the time. We’ve been overwhelmed by the numbers of people saying they want to see him at Trafalgar Square. When he delivers his tough message to the world’s most powerful decision makers, thousands of voices will be cheering him on”.
