Another Statement reads,
Devastating to hear we’ve lost Geoff Wonfor, one of Tyneside’s greatest creative minds. A pioneer and visionary in modern music TV and video production, Geoff started his career in his native Newcastle, before making waves on the world stage with the likes of The Beatles and Prince. More recently, he’s been directing the Sunday for Sammy shows and worked on the BBC Alan Hull documentary. I worked with him quite a lot over the years, and when he spoke… you bloody well listened, ‘cos it was either bang-on-the-money advice, a bollocking, funny as owt, or all three. Thinking of his family and many, many friends this morning. RIP, Geoff x

Tributes to Geoff Wonfor
Scott Tyrell,
Deeply gutted to hear the legendary Geoff Wonfor has passed. Geoff’s credits are a pioneering encyclopedia. He directed Channel 4’s The Tube in the eighties. He directed the Beatles Anthology in the nineties, he was the Grammy-award-winning go-to director for music documentaries for the musical best of the best. And to meet him, he was the most everyday working-class Geordie – but with some belting anecdotes to tell.
When I worked at Tyne Tees TV I used to make my ciggie breaks coincide with his so I could try and soak up whatever genius he had. All I learned was, ‘stop dicking about and just do it. I found out he was a fan of my poetry a few years back and it was like having a divinity smile on your face. Like having your whole city tell you it’s proud of you.
This was taken when we were filming for Sunday for Sammy 2 years ago. Yes, Geoff Wonfor directed me and Tobes once. We were blessed.

Ray’s sentiment is shared by us all on Sunday for Sammy’s family. He was a huge presence, and we’ll miss him so much. Love to all his family, friends, and colleagues.
