My life as rock's first female roadie

Available for over a year

As a teenager, Tana Douglas ran away from an abusive home to work as a roadie for rock bands like AC/DC, Status Quo, The Who and Elton John in an era when music concerts went from scruffy pubs to million dollar arena productions. Despite the gruelling schedule and hard physical work Tana loved the job, even though she was the only woman doing it. But the pressures she faced in this all-male environment led her to hide a monumental secret in order to fit in. Her dedication to keeping the show on the road - and her apparent rock and roll lifestyle - was eventually turned against her during a bitter family feud in which the stakes could hardly have been higher.
