High-energy Tina Turner tribute show fronted by Holly Bannis and a full live band, playing her showstoppers.
Holly Bannis takes the stage at the Swansea Building Society Arena on Sunday 29 November, fronting a full live band for What's Love Got To Do With It?, a tribute to Tina Turner. The show is produced by the team behind Whitney – Queen of the Night and staged by Cuffe and Taylor in association with Paul Roberts Productions. It first opened in February 2019, and the set is built around the songs that defined Turner's career: Proud Mary, River Deep – Mountain High, Simply The Best, Private Dancer and Nutbush City Limits are all in the mix. It's a family-friendly production, so under-16s need a supervising adult with them.
Bannis herself comes from Kent and is the daughter of Greg Bannis, former lead singer of Hot Chocolate. She spent over a decade performing semi-professionally before an audition on ITV's Starstruck changed things for her. During lockdown, she spent her time studying Turner's performances obsessively, working through the moves, the walk and the energy that went into them. The production is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Tina Turner Estate, and a 2025 run drew more than 60,000 fans across the UK.
