Bjorn Again James Hay Theatre 13th May 2010
For those of us who love ABBA this tribute band is the best. This was part of their 21st Anniversary tour so they have been together a lot longer than ABBA. The show opened with Waterloo which I can still remember seeing on Eurovision as a young teenager. They played most of the well known songs plus some I haven't heard like I am a Tiger. They were very good at getting the audience involved either singing the songs or getting us up dancing (not that it took much persuasion). Some of the audience were in ABBA clothes so they were up dancing for the whole show. For the encore they of course sung Dancing Queen with all of the audience singing and dancing and they finished with Thank You For The Music. This show reminded me about how great the songs of ABBA were and still are timeless pieces of great music.

Love ABBA. I think the scariest thing about Bjorn Again is that it's really, really hard to tell the difference between them and ABBA. They really are that good. I've only heard them a couple of times, but they have to be one of the best tribute bands out there.

Yes, I agree, I too saw them live once and they were brilliant. The thing about a lot of these tribute acts is that they have to be absolutely spot on - their live performances are probably better than the orginal band!
That was certainly the case with The Bootleg Beatles, the Australian Pink Floyd and a Queen tribute I once saw whose name escapes me for now.
