The first SUNDAY FOR SAMMY was staged in 2000 by Tim Healy and Jimmy Nail to commemorate the life and work of their friend Tyneside actor Sammy Johnson, who died suddenly in 1998. The 2010 shows were the sixth in a series of SUNDAY FOR SAMMY events held on Tyneside every two years to raise money to help gifted young performers make a start in the entertainment business. The format of the shows, blending hilarious sketches, stand-up comedy and stunning music has proved to be amazingly popular with the public. The 2008 concert also features performances from young artists who were recipients of grants from the Sammy Johnson Fund.
The DVD of the2010 concert was directed by GEOFF WONFOR and produced by RAY LAIDLAW. 75% of the proceeds of the sales of the DVD will be donated to the Sammy Johnson Fund.
