Synopsis

He promoted them all - The Who, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Yes, Free, Rod Stewart, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, The Nice and scores more. Sometimes they were on the way up, sometimes they were already big, sometimes they didn't show at all. Acts that didn't usually play in the north-east played for Geoff Doherty. This is his story, spiced with sex, drugs and violence. A miner's son, his upbringing was marked by hardship and countless street fights, but at the Bay Hotel in Sunderland, he brought self-belief and steely determination to getting the big stars to play on his patch. Docherty progressed from being doorman and bouncer to self-appointed promoter with a style all of his own and became arguably the biggest rock concert promoter in the north-east of England.
