Some Ab-solute musts!

ABBA fans can enjoy a tribute act with a difference at a concert this weekend.

The Babes pay homage to all of the Swedish supergroup’s hits – but without the assistance of a Benny or a Bjorn.

Instead the tribute Agnetha and Anni-Frid perfom as a twosome, and will be singing live at Haynes Village Concert Hall on Saturday (November 17).

The two promise powerful vocal performances and fantastic harmonies.

They also undergo multiple costume changes as the shows go on, with all of the glitter and sequins that might be expected, as well as some spectacular dance routines.

The doors open at 7.30pm for an 8.30pm start and tickets are £8 in advance and £10 on the door if they do not sell out beforehand.

Gig goers are also invited to dress glamorously.

There will be free parking and a fully-licensed bar.

And what a lot of rocking it’s been, the band formed in 1979 playing their first gig to their mates in 1980.

Rooted firmly in the second wave of punk the band still have a following to die for and have influenced the likes of Rancid and Blink 182.
