TAKE a chance on ABBA Mania this Friday as they head to The Forum.

The world’s number one touring ABBA tribute concert was formed in 1999 and has been selling out theatres and concert halls internationally ever since.

Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid, collectively known as ABBA, dominated the charts for nearly ten years and enjoyed nine UK number one hits.

At their height they became Sweden’s highest export earners, amazingly, outselling Volvo cars.

In the early eighties they decided to go their separate ways, but their music lives on.

ABBA MANIA gives you two hours of uplifting, dance inducing and sometimes heart-breaking songs.

The show recreates ABBA’s sound, and the show is not only for life long, die hard ABBA fans but the new generation of fans, who never had the opportunity to see ABBA live.

Tamsin, who takes on the role of Agnetha in ABBA Mania, said: "The atmosphere in the theatres since we have come out of lockdown has been incredibly special. We are having the most terrific time on stage and it is so wonderful to look out into the crowd and see everyone smiling and having such a wonderful time too!

"ABBA music is extraordinary because it spans across so many generations. We have from eight to 80 yrs olds coming to see us, whole families together, making memories which is truly lovely.

"Everyone gets lost in this fabulous music and forgets their troubles for a couple of hours and it’s what we all need in these testing times. It’s pure unapologetic joy!"

Some of Tamsin's favourite ABBA songs are Super Trooper and Dancing Queen.

She said: "My favourite to sing is Chiquitita. The lyrics are so beautiful and I adore the harmonies in the song.

"I also love Does Your Mother Know as it’s sung by Bjorn and he performs it so well."
