Barney Hooper (Director of Marketing, PRS) : The first live event I worked on was a Charity Concert in South Africa for the Nelson Mandela Foundation and his HIV/AIDS Charity 46664 in 2003. It was to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and its impact globally, and Nelson Mandela had gifted his prison number - prisoner 466 in 1964, so 46664 - to the campaign.
Beyonce, U2 and Queen headlined with a host of other major names, but there was only one true superstar at the concert and that was him. It was an amazing experience and everyone involved in it was fantastic to work with. My claim to fame is that I organised all the flights for Beyonce and her entourage.
