In the words of the late Tina Turner:
“Rebecca is so good, she’s scary. If I had her energy, I would still be touring today.”
“This show is way beyond a tribute act. Rebecca is an amazing performer and vocalist. I was mesmerised, a night you’ll never forget.”
– Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac)
Rebecca O’Connor grew up in County Cork, Ireland, and was introduced to Tina Turner’s music through her parents as a young girl. She immediately loved everything about Tina and knew most of her songs word-perfect as a young girl.
“When I first heard Tina it was like a volcano went off inside me. I knew then this amazing woman would influence me forever.”
Rebecca’s career was now in the early stages of construction.
She joined her first band at 17 and incorporated Tina’s songs into the band’s setlist. When she won a local karaoke competition singing a Tina Turner song, her mother entered her into the hit TV show European Stars In Their Eyes Competition, and she went on to take out the title in front of over 33 million viewers.
Rebecca O’Connor looks and sounds like Tina Turner on stage, but she is adamant and quotes:
“There is only one Tina Turner, she is absolutely amazing, and I admire and respect her so much. I hope that I can bring her power, energy, and magic to each and every show I perform. To be personally endorsed by her was an absolute honour and something I will always cherish.”
“Sensational. I thought I was watching Tina herself.”
– Vanetta Fields (original member of The Ike & Tina Turner Ikettes)
“It was like a freight train came through and blew the doors off the theatre.”
– Eblin Gleeson, GM Cork Opera House, Ireland
