A Tina Turner act will be among five top tribute bands to feature at a Gateshead festival this summer and fans are told to expect a show fit for the queen of rock.
Singer Shelley Stevens performs as her idol, who died last week, in a show that's billed as 'simply the best' Tina Turner act around and she is set to be a big draw on the line-up at Big Sound family festival coming to Blaydon Rugby Club in July. Tickets for the event are now on sale and a spokesman said that following the death of the music icon the aim now is to put on a show as a "tribute to the superstar she was".
Shelley herself has said she is devastated by her idol's death. The entertainer, who has more than 30 years' experience as a singer, actress and presenter, has performed worldwide but says her true love has always been Tina Turner and the star's music. In her show Simply Tina she is out to capture it all, from Turner's voice to the hair, the dresses and the moves.
