Simple Minds frontman Jim Kerr has won a prestigious Gold Medal for Best Documentary at the New York Festivals International Radio Awards for his recent documentary about The Doors’ singer Jim Morrison.
Kerr’s first outing as a documentary maker, Jim Kerr On Jim Morrison was written and presented by the singer and explores one of the 60s most controversial musicians.
“We’re really touched by the recognition,” said Kerr. “Every great documentary relies on compelling subject matter and in the history of rock surely there can be no more compelling subject than the music and poetry of Jim Morrison and The Doors.”
