Ok, I thought I better post an update about my time on the Tina Turner Tour Europe 2009. Well the first time I saw Tina was when Ike and Tina Turner supported the Rolling Stones on a tour of the UK in the Sixties, I think it was at the Globe Theatre in my hometown. The next time I remember seeing them was in 1972, as a very young roadie I was working as the drum roadie for a band called Osibisa and we supported them at The Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden New York City. they put on an amazing show and remember the Ikettes and Tina receiving huge bouquets of flowers as they left the stage. It was my first American Tour and I still remember that show as being the highlight. The next time I worked for Tina it was 1990 as a carpenter and that to date, it was one of my favourite tours ever. Since that tour I have been on all of Tina's european tours to date and this tour is a pleasure to be involved with.
