ABBA 2 BJORN BELIEF
for the last 8 years, have been at the forefront of quality tribute entertainment. The fact that the original members are still performing together promises a slick and professional show. Apart from a fabulous sound that is as close to the original sound that you will hear, we have developed a unique humour which makes it probably the most entertaining band in the UK.

Lorraine and Tina are consummate singers who sound remarkably like the real thing, and their onstage chemistry delights the audience and soon has them laughing as belief that they are not ABBA is suspended after the third song. Colin and Peter are fantastic musicians who between them have played with some of our musical heroes over the years such as The Bee Gees, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Tyler, Dolly Parton (the real ones!), and also session work for Jimmy Nail, Cilla Black, Sir Les Patterson and even Max Boyce!
