BABBA tribute to greatest
BECOME the dancing queen this weekend as Australia’s best ABBA tribute band BABBA heads up to Cairns to celebrate 30 years of bringing the thrills, charms and songs of ABBA to crowds worldwide.
The four-piece band from Victoria made up of Michael Ingvarson as Benny, Seb Szabo as Bjorn, Susie King as Agnetha, Jacqui Hamilton as Frida and Paul Edsall on the drums will bring the costumes, the songs and the style to the Cairns Performing Arts Centre (CPAC) tomorrow from 7.30pm.
Labelled as Australia’s number one ABBA tribute, BABBA has been wowing crowds across Australia and the world since 1994, recreating the super group’s signature look and taking the audience through the history and music of ABBA for two hours of pure entertainment.
“It’s been a wonderful experience to be doing this for so long, we’re excited to still be together having fun on stage and the audience is loving it more and more,” said one of BABBA’s leading men Michael Ingvarson.
“We’re excited to be coming to Cairns. It’s been quite a while since we’ve been there and to be performing at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre, it’s going to be beautiful. We can’t wait to celebrate 30 years at such a beautiful venue.”
Mr Ingvarson promised BABBA fans a high energy show, with beautiful costumes, amazing music, and lots of humour.
“We always do our best to sound like ABBA and we’re one of the best in the world doing it,” he said.
“The bonus of BABBA is that we add some rare songs, there’s always the big hits but also songs like ‘Hole in Your Soul’ and it’s a great live, pumping, energetic track, and we do a Mamma Mia medley with some of the rarer songs like ‘When all it’s said and done’, and ‘Last summer’.
“You can expect four different costumes, great humour and a high-energy faithful reproduction of all of ABBA’s music.”
Mr Ingvarson invited people of all ages to experience BABBA and relieve the 70s with these hits.
“We’re looking forward to connecting to people because, it’s not only our 30th anniversary, but also 50 years of Waterloo winning at Eurovision,” he said.
“So come and see us. We don’t know how long we’re going to be doing this for and it’s a guaranteed super fun night with music you love presented in a beautiful way, with amazing costumes and accurate musicianship. Bring some friends and enjoy.”
