Profile
The Abba Girls are the original Abba duo, established in 1995. The idea of an Abba duo was conceived by vocalist Kim Graham - bringing the fantastic sounds and harmonies of Abba to venues that do not have the room or budget for a full Abba tribute band.
Such is their success that they have performed all over the world at over 1500 gigs! From large outdoor concerts (biggest 80,000) to live TV work (latest BBC1 live 2nd July 2004) plus turning on Christmas lights, performing radio jingles etc - the list really is endless.
Abba Girls have performed at just about every type of venue but still manage to keep their feet firmly on the ground - as well as all the large venues mentioned below they still perform at their local village hall!
The Show
The Abba Girls are full time professional performers. They can cover 60 of Abba’s fantastic tracks and up to 15 different costume changes (but not on the same night!). They always endeavor to bring the best show to every venue.
The Abba Girls are completely self-contained with full PA & lighting rigs and travel with their own engineer as well as an on-stage 16' x 12' back drop if required. Background music, mainly from the 70's and 80's can also be provided between sets. All electrical equipment is PAT tested and the duo have full public liability insurance.
The Abba Girls' main client base is corporate, private parties, weddings, hotels, summer seasons and theatres.
