Live Music

The Fire Doors (Tribute to The Doors)

The Fire Doors faithfully bring to life the music of Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore; a celebration of The Doors’ six classic albums, from the brooding psychedelia of the self-titled debut to the bluesy howl of L.A. Woman. The Fire Doors embrace every aspect of this uniquely fascinating band – poetry, mysticism, flamenco and jazz all wrapped up as hard-hitting rock, but with the pop smarts that led to chart-topping singles such as Light My Fire, Hello, I Love You and Touch Me. The Fire Doors sees four mainstays of the North East’s music scene (Peter Brewis, David Brewis and Andrew Moore of Field Music and David Hyde from The Futureheads) coming together to share their first musical love. Their mission now is to help keep the music of The Doors alive. The band are a genuine force and pull the Doors’ hits off with clout and conviction. The result achieves that magic combination of being so tight they almost sound loose.” Daniel Dylan Wray, The Guardian “They’re called Fire Doors. If you see footage of them, they’re incredible.
