Award-winning 'TOTALLY TINA' is STILL Simply The Best It’s been the UK’s official number one Tina Turner tribute for the past five years (as voted by the Agents Association of Great Britain), with a Lifetime Achievement Award under its belt and a hectic, fast-growing gig schedule right across the UK and into Europe to boot. The cast of ‘Totally Tina’ it seems, is definitely ‘better than all the rest’. Now seven years in the making, the longest running tribute to the Queen of Rock and Roll is in demand, yet with the same passion, drive and attention to detail that’s ear
... ned Liverpool-born Justine Riddoch and her band the top spot since 2013, the talents behind this much-loved Show are not resting on their laurels. Instead, they are already fine-tuning what is a unique celebration of Tina’s live concert career with a whole host of exciting set changes and flamboyant costumes, pulsating new dance routines and the characteristic custom twists which make it a hit with an army of fans nationwide. Most importantly, and for the first time ever, the band has been asking its audiences what they’d like to hear played, so songs like I Can’t Stand The Rain, Typical Male, Undercover Agent for the Blues, I Don’t Wanna Lose You, Help and Legs – all chosen by the fans – will be added to classic favourites like Nutbush City Limits and Simply The Best. Said lead vocalist, Justine: “The support of our many fans across the country is humbling; they’re truly amazing and incredibly loyal. Every year, we make ourselves a promise to pull out all the stops, so that the Show is the very best it can be and the audience goes home buzzing! Building up a following takes time, and a lot of hard work, and we believe in looking after our fans. What they want to hear is what’s important, which is why we’ve asked them this year. We had a fantastic response, and we’re hoping they’ll love what we’ve done.” Justine is no stranger to the stage, having been treading the boards on the north-west circuit for more than 26 years. Her career changed direction in 2002 when she won ITV’s ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ as Anastacia, and for the next six years, her tribute show, ‘Justine is Anastacia’ performed all over the world. When her muse stopped releasing albums, Justine created ‘Totally Tina’ and the rest, as they say, is history. The current Show features talented, industry-respected musicians and dancers, professionally choreographed routines, state of the art lighting and sound systems, vibrant stage costumes, fire-performers and Justine’s own uncanny take of the legend that is Tina Turner. It enjoys rave reviews from audiences and critics alike, with plenty of dancing in the aisles and standing ovations everywhere it goes. Brand new venues this year include Bournemouth, Lincoln, Wakefield, Taunton, Monmouth, Worcester, Scunthorpe, Morecambe, Wimbledon and Whitley Bay. The band is even heading off to Switzerland – Tina’s new home country – to perform at the coveted Cover Festival, set deep in the Swiss Alps. Editor’s Notes: Testimonials: "Close your eyes and Tina was there, open them and she was still there! Justine and her dancers and band are outstanding... Totally TINA! is Totally Terrific. A fitting tribute in every way with pure passion pulsing through the whole performance" _ _ _ _ _ NORTH WEST END “This really is a fantastic evening and you’d swear that you were watching the real Tina in action.” UK THEATRE NETWORK The National UK Tribute Awards: Recognises the enormous contribution tribute acts make to the entertainment industry in both economic and artistic value.

Biography
Totally TINA is an award-winning tribute to the Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner, being honoured the Official UK number one from the agents association of great Britain. We headlined the Glastonbudget Festival (the biggest tribute festival of the year) in May 2015 and Tribfest in August 2015. Currently touring the UK theatres in a full production version with live band, dancers and our leading lady Justine Riddoch. Rather than a biography this show focuses on the concert style of Tina's career. Replicating scenes from various tours over the last 50 years with a hint of Custom Twist
... s and turns created by Justine and her cast. Justine has been singing professionally for over 22 years now and has worked extensively in theatres and on national TV, she is also a much sought after session vocalist for some of the biggest record labels in the UK. In her early career she could be seen treading the familiar cabaret scene as a dynamic vocalist and used to boast to know over 5000 songs becoming a human juke box at venues. But it was in 2002 that her career would change direction. After winning Stars in their eyes as Anastacia. “I just wanted to be me but when I wasn't as successful as I 'd hoped being TINA is defiantly the next best thing. After 6 years of performing as her, enlisting a live band to create more of a show feel. Anastacia didn't release anymore albums. At that point it was time to change direction again. Being told on many occasions you really sound like TINA Turner the challenge was set to become the closest copy she could be. But this was going to take some transformation. Hours of trailing video. Watching mannerisms movements. Listening to patter and hundreds of versions of the same songs from different decades. The band and Justine Created Totally TINA. The boys were informed that girls would have to be a big big part of this and surprisingly no one complained, so the challenge was set. So get ready to shake your Tailfeathers, with the Queen of Rock and Soul, Live from Nutbush and Simply the best. Come say hi after the show and have your pic taken with Tina and the Girls

Totally TINA Ltd® - Tina Turner Tribute Act - Liverpool, North West EnglandEvent Location: LeicesterEvent Type: National Tribute Awards7th February 2018
"Two words to make any reviewer break out in a cold sweat are Tina and Turner given that many tributes seen over the years have come from the ‘stick a big wig on, strut around and just shout’ school of performance. Not so Totally Tina!. Given the excellent quality of the acts performing over the four days, it’s quite some statement to say her set topped the lot. A fabulous finale saw the powerful scouse singer opening with an awesome, initially low key version of Proud Mary, then covering Turner’s almost forgotten Bond theme tune, Golden Eye, and finishing inevitably with Simply The Best, joined on stage by all the other acts.
Simply an amazing set then from a fabulous performer, backed by a fine set of musicians and dancers, and boasting the highest production values I’ve seen in a tribute show for a very long time."

Totally TINA Ltd® - Tina Turner Tribute Act - Liverpool, North West EnglandEvent Location: WakefieldEvent Type: Theatre Royal1st February 2018
After reading that Liverpool born Justine Riddoch and her band 'Totally Tina' have held the title of No.1 Tina Turner tribute act for the past five years and had recently receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, I left home with the expectations that this show could be something special. I was not disappointed. 'Totally Tina' is an absolute assault of sound and vision.
The fabulously flamboyant costumes and the projected images of both The Queen of Rock 'n' Roll herself ,Tina Turner and 'Totally Tina' in concert were framed by four female dancers named 'Totally Tina's Totty' who only helped to enhanced the visual spectacle of this polished production show. The lighting added subtle mood and ambience but never distracted or dominated.
Elevated on a raised platform upstage, the authentic band of five musicians sounded quite simply superb. The sound mix was first class and a big thumbs up goes to the sound technician. A special mention must go to Andy the saxophonist, who had me riveted ...both as a musician and a frequent vocalist within the show. His duet with Miss Riddoch of ‘It Takes two' was the first number to get the audience singing along and the comedic rapport between the two was natural and highly entertaining.
Centre stage was of course taken by the 2002 'Stars in their Eyes' winner Miss Riddoch who embodied the very essence of Tina Turner, the detail in this performance was exquisite and never just imitation. From the very opening number, her stunning and authentic voice oozed charisma and class. Her mannerisms and conversational style, began a fluid and detailed dialogue with the audience. An extensive catalogue of hits were flawlessly paraded and interjected with interesting historical facts of the songs origins and the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll's life story. Songs from Tina Turner's film career such as 'Golden eye' and 'We Don't need another Hero' soulfully sat alongside firm favourites such as 'Private Dancer', 'River Deep, Mountain High', 'Nut Bush City Limits' and 'Steamy Windows'. My personal favourite was a very intimate acoustic set including the cover song 'Let's Stay together', this worked beautifully in the cosy setting of a small theatre.
The entire audience unsurprisingly, were on their feet and in the aisles at their excellent version of 'Proud Mary'. Finally, how else could a tribute show conclude but with a fitting homage to its muse; the now 76 year old, 3 time Grammy award winner, Tina Turner; with a roof raising rendition of 'Your Simply the Best'. There was definitely an overwhelming demand for one more song and after the
much deserved encore, 'Addicted to Love' completed the set. The 'Totally Tina' artistes offered a 'meet and greet' to the audience in the bar afterwards. This was very much in keeping with the warmth and gratitude Miss Riddoch bestowed on her audience throughout the show.
If I was to make one slight criticism of an otherwise wonderfully nostalgic night, I would have to say I do feel that the stage at the Wakefield Theatre Royal was somewhat restrictive for such an aesthetic and detailed performance, as the staging felt a little cramped at times. I am sure 'Totally Tina' could regally grace any arena venue and fully exploit the sheer exuberance of this production.
Go seek out this highly acclaimed Tribute Act, 'Totally Tina' will keep you 'Totally Transfixed!'

As the most successful Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner has received eleven Grammy Awards, including eight competitive awards and three Grammy Hall of Fame awards. With combined album and single sales of approximately 180 million copies worldwide, she’s sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer, reached No 17 on Rolling Stone Magazine’s list of greatest singers of all time and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She’s currently working on a new musical based on her life called ‘Tina’. Worldwide Event Productions have created a faithful representation of Tina Turner’s iconic shows as Totally Tina features a fantastic live band, authentic dance routines and lots of gorgeous costume changes throughout. Voted the UK’s Official No 1 Tribute to Tina Turner by the Agents Association of Great Britain at the 2016 National Tribute Music Awards, Justine Riddoch morphs into Tina with incredible vocals, mannerisms, gestures and dancing.
Being a singe ...r myself, I always admire tribute acts as I know just how hard they have to work to get the vocals right and you have to be a very accomplished singer to achieve success. Justine has been in the business for over 26 years and in 2002 won ‘Stars in their Eyes’ as Anastacia and her subsequent, ‘Justine is Anastacia’ show was in great demand. As Anastacia’s sales waned, Justine realised it was time to reinvent herself again and set about transforming herself into Tina Turner.
The show that we now see has been honed to perfection and Justine is the ultimate entertainer, engaging the audience quickly, bantering with them and the band and owning the stage with her energy, presence and dynamic vocals. All the biggest hits are covered from River Deep, Mountain High, Private Dancer, Steamy Windows, Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary through to Simply the Best. Justine looks absolutely stunning in a series of glorious sequinned dresses and impossibly high heels, that I haven’t a clue how she moved around the stage in, but I had serious shoe envy! What a pair of pins she has too and lead guitarist Jimmy singing ‘Hot Legs’ was a perfect song choice, as Justine looks exactly like Tina in her mini dresses.
This really is a fantastic evening and you’d swear that you were watching the real Tina in action. For further details of the show, with video clips and tour dates visit

So who was this lady who strutted and pouted across the stage paying tribute to one of the biggest female rock stars of all time who is able to put on a show worthy of the title of Best Female Artist at the National Tribute Music Awards 2016? Whose dancers took the 'Best Choreography' and whose production team took 'Best Sound and Lighting at the same awards? Look no further than Justine Riddoch, a talented artiste who guarantees you a show that will leave you in no doubt that every attention to detail has been meticulously covered.
After winning ITV's 'Stars in Their Eyes' in 2002 as Anastacia, Justine continued as a tribute over the following years but as Anastacia's popularity diminished she knew she had to take a new direction and after being likened to Tina Turner on many occasions she set herself the daunting challenge of becoming the closest representation of her.
Close your eyes and Tina was there, open them and she was still there! Justine and her dancers and band are outstand ...ing with one of the best tribute shows I have been to. From the opening dramatic start with everyone on stage for 'Steamy Window's' to the finale of 'Simply The Best' not one minute did the standard drop, the dancers excelled with energetic routines but did not distract from the star performer in any way. The band consisting of drums, two guitarists, sax and keys were amazing and the duet between Jimmy (lead guitar) and Justine with 'It Takes Two' was another treat for the audience. Lighting and sound complimented and there was a also a back drop subtlety screening various images throughout the performance.
Needless to say the audience were wild about the act from the minute the show started. This is not just some stage production, this is a full on concert show, worthy of filling arena's. The costumes of the dancers were wonderful, sexy and sparkly as you would expect and Justine's were fabulous recreations of Tina's and she looked absolutely stunning complete with Tina's 'big hair' wig as she sang, danced and recreated the infamous strutting dance moves on high stiletto heels, no mean feat!
I could not possible pick out a best moment of the show, Justine has great stage presence and involves the audience and her band continually. A touching moment was showcasing the 14 years old niece of one of the band members, allowing her to join her dancers on stage for a song. Well done Alicia you were amazing and showing a great talent, a future awaits you on stage.
Totally TINA! has all the hits, plus some unexpected, such as Peaches and Herb's 'Shake Your Groove Thing' which had the theatre audience up and dancing along (Although not needing encouragement as many were dancing at their seats and in the aisles seemingly almost mandatory from the first notes belted out!)
Totally TINA! is Totally Terrific, A fitting tribute in every way with pure passion pulsing through the whole performance. You leave the theatre feeling you have actually been to a top stars concert. For further touring dates and info: http://www.totallytina.co.uk (http://www.totallytina.co.uk/)

Totally TINA Ltd® - Tina Turner Tribute Act - Liverpool, North West EnglandEvent Location: CreweEvent Type: Lyceum Theatre15th January 2017
Tina Turner, recreated so beautifully in the show Totally Tina and starring the exceptionally talented Justine Riddoch, arrived at the Crewe Lyceum Theatre with a truly heart-thumping offering jam-packed full of the energy and vibrancy so associated with the powerhouse American diva.
The night promised to be a performance where the music was the star and it delivered big-style on both content and wow factor with a multitude of hits galore, all of which seemed as timeless and potent as ever and which Riddoch delivered to perfection. In fact, it was hard to believe at times that the real Tina herself wasn’t on the stage on a cold night in Crewe as the authenticity of the show was just so convincing. Riddoch sounds like Tina, looks like Tina and portrays her with an accuracy that is memorable.
Tina Turner is the ultimate Queen of Rock, as a singer and a woman. With a well-documented successful yet often turbulent life, she has become an inspiration for many because she has battled diffi ...culties yet transcended them with style and determination. Most importantly, the real Tina is a person who can touch people through her music and emotion and this has undoubtedly been part of the reason for her long-standing and phenomenal success.
Totally Tina brings a whole load of the thrill and magic and fun banter of a Tina Turner concert to audiences far and wide and, in doing so, keeps the popularity of the brilliant songstress alive.
Hit after hit delighted the audience and classics such as Steamy Windows, Private Dancer, Goldeneye, It Takes Two, River Deep – Mountain High, What’s Love Got To Do With It? and many more came thick and fast and does wonders at raising the temperature and warming up the audience to the extent that people are genuinely dancing in the aisles. With a fully choreographed “Vegas-style” show including four very glamorous backing dancers and a fantastic band of musicians who play brilliantly, Totally Tina rocked the Lyceum and had the audience calling for more. This tribute show to an amazing artist fully deserves the accolade of being Simply the Best on the circuit.
