THIS year sees the celebratory 40th ABBA anniversary of their classic ‘Waterloo’ and ABBA REUNION, the world class international tribute, is coming to Barry.

They will be appearing for one night only on Friday, November 14 at the Barry Memorial Hall.

Sweeney Entertainment is proud to present The ABBA REUNION Tribute Show - Live in Concert.

It will be an evening full of the hits of ABBA, one of the world's most iconic pop groups.

Having taken Europe by storm in 1974 when they won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo, ABBA went onto top pop charts worldwide for well over a decade.

Their much-loved songs have featured in some of the most popular films of the past thirty years including Muriel's Wedding and The Adventures of Pricilla, Queen of the Desert.

In 1999, their songs were adapted into the phenomenally successful musical Mamma Mia which has grossed over $2 billion worldwide and introduced a whole new generation to hit songs including "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Take A Chance On Me", "Thank You for the Music", "Money, Money, Money", "The Winner Takes It All", "Voulez Vous" and "SOS".

Following a four month run in London's West End, and after a successful four year European tour selling out theatres, stadiums and concert halls, this award winning, critically acclaimed Abba Tribute performer, producer, choreographer and director together with The Reunion Group, created ABBA REUNION. Now in its 10th year, the show has become internationally recognised as one of the top world-class authentic ABBA experiences.

The wonderful lyrics and music penned by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus are recreated by all six performers on stage.

This is done both visually and audibly with a huge focus on the 1977 and 1979 concert footage with an injection of the most famous music video looks, complete with the fabulous, flamboyant costumes and dance moves of Agnetha and Frida.

Even Benny's original CP80 white Yamaha piano that spins around has been handcrafted to look like the original.

The unique Abba sound is replicated with incredible attention to detail, using a six-piece band featuring electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, piano, drums and bass guitar.

ABBA REUNION gives Abba fans, old and new, the opportunity to once again get together and re-live the addictive Abba phenomenon that swept the airwaves and discos during the 70's and 80's in this truly feel good, party style concert.
