Soul Sister - Musical Based On Life Of Tina Turner

[Geoff]

On Wednesday I went with my friend to the Hackney Empire to see the show Soul Sister based on the life of Tina Turner. It was my first visit to the Hackney Empire in Mare Street, Hackney, an old building that dates back to 1901 I believe.

I thought the show was very good, the lady playing Tina had a good voice and interpreted the songs really well in my opinion. The band that played Ike's Kings Of Rhythm were good, they really had the right sound.

Songs included Private Dancer, Rocket 88, Fool In Love, It's Gonna Work Out Fine, I Idolise You, River Deep Mountain High, Proud Mary, What's Love Got To Do With It, etc.

My friend has the programme so I can't refer to it right now, so don't know the names of the actors but it was a thoroughly good show and in my opinion worth visiting while it's on.
