The 2008 shows were the latest 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 bands The Mosaics and The Known World, both of whom were recipients of grants from the Sammy Johnson Fund.
