Breaking the Rules with Music Legend Malcolm Gerrie

In part one of our two-part special, the story of how a teacher from Newcastle pushed the boundaries in music, creating the legendary eighties show The Tube.

Malcolm Gerrie booked ‘low priority act’ Madonna for her first UK performance, helped U2 break America at Red Rocks, breathed fresh life into Tina Turner’s career and exec produced live performances from Elton, REM, The Who, The Jam and many more. 

Malcolm exec'd the Bafta's for 23 years, revamped The Brits, and has just finished making a film with blind tenor Andrea Bocelli. He feels the time is ripe for a new music show which reflects what’s going on in the world right now - something radical which creates some noise - and he challenges Sky Arts or Netflix to get cracking!
