Singer Kerri Watt has started selling off cherished mementos from her music career to help human trafficking victims.
The performer is even parting with the T-shirt she wore at Glastonbury last year to raise funds for a charity which supports those forced into the sex trade, servitude and exploitation.
Kerri, who has toured with the likes of Coldplay, Nina Nesbitt and Embrace, is flogging her vintage, high street and designer clothes in aid of Stop the Traffik.
Fans will recognise some of the gear from her live shows, music videos and single artwork.
The 30-year-old, of Milngavie, near Glasgow, said: “Human trafficking wasn’t something I was really aware of at all. About two years ago, I went to a film screening about human trafficking and it was an eye-opener.
“It was the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen. There were survivors from the film speaking after it and it was life-changing.
“I was horrified by the realities of human trafficking. I’m keen to do anything I can to support such a great cause.”
Kerri has been a working musician since her teens. At 16, she left her family home to study at South Orange County School of Arts in Dana Point, California.
She has toured the UK and Europe and played festivals including Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party and Boardmasters.
In 2017, she joined Embrace on stage at the Millennium Stadium to open for Coldplay on their A Head Full Of Dreams Tour.
Kerri added: “It’s unbelievable to think that human trafficking and modern slavery are with us today.
“The clothes have a lot of sentimental value, and it will be tough to see them go, but it’s for a good cause.
“The sale will be on my Instagram and Facebook stories.”
Lizzy Jewell of Stop The Traffik, said: “It’s a delight to have Kerri working with Stop The Traffik. Her dedication to stopping human trafficking shines through in every conversation we have with her. She’s been amazing.”
