Bjorn Again

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.
