Geoff and I have both been fans of ABBA and
their music since ‘Waterloo’, although neither of us managed to see
the band live. I did struggle to get him to see ‘Mamma Mia’ as he
was worried about the distortion of the original songs.
Some years ago we did go and see another ABBA tribute band but
were both sadly disappointed. As part of the re-juvination of the Alhambra Theatre
Dunfermline, many bands and comedians are booked in to this fabulous
space. BJORN AGAIN are part way through their 20th
anniversary tour and performed in Dunfermline on Monday 2nd
March.
BJORN AGAIN have in the past 20 years moved
from being just another tribute band, all be it the original ABBA
tribute band, to being a world wide phenomenon. They have a huge fan
following of their own. I had tried in the past to get tickets but for
one reason or another just did not manage.
The atmosphere at the Alhambra was buzzing long
before the band came on stage building up to an electrically charged
frenzy. When Tony Blackburn’s voice introduced the show and the
1970’s / 1980’s intro music. From the first live musical notes to
the very end of the show the place was rocking. They got the audience up
on their feet dancing in the aisles and any flat space they could find.

The whole show was amazing, from the
musicality, the singing, the choreography and costumes along with
unexpected comedy and the multi relationship vibes. Even the addition of
non ABBA music gave further depth to the evenings experience. I
certainly did not hear one negative comment after the show, most people
just wanted to see ‘BJORN AGAIN’ again!
I certainly will make more effort to get to see
them again. Rod Stephen created and founded the show in 1988 and was the
original Bass Player please Rod keep this fabulous show going, as ABBA
music seems to be an-everlasting popular entertainment. You have your
work cut out for decades to come.
