Some of us already had the pleasure of watching the new Ike & Tina Turner DVD by Bob & Nadya Gruen. We enjoyed it a lot and asked a few of our friends and Tina historians Alan, Hank & Marco to review it for the blog. Since their full stories were too big for print, below you’ll find a glimpse at each one of their reviews on the blog.

“Spirituality comes from a place inside of you. I don’t know where it is, I wish I would. You have to use your imagination. You have to make a connection, to become one to one with the body and the mind.”

We’re very happy to announce that we will again organize a Tina Turner fan party to celebrate Tina’s birthday this year! The party will take place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands (for the third year in a row) at bar The Queen’s Head. Because the birthday is on a Monday this year (November 26), we decided to move the date slightly, to better accommodate all the international travelers. The event will now be held on Saturday, November 24 – starting at 8 PM. We will have a special performer, Tina music all night long, a few surprises, and of course many Tina fans travelling to Amsterdam from all over the world. So please make sure you join us! Check out the page for the party here for all the details. See you in Amsterdam!
