Hi Abbagirls and Colin
Thanks once again to the Abbagirls for giving us a truly fantastic performance on Friday 2 July in Hemsby Norfolk, as part of the Pontin's annual Abba Weekend festivities. Even after 7 hours in the car on the long journey from South Wales just a few songs from the Abbagirls made us forget the journey as we marvelled at your wonderful music and costumes.
The rest of the weekend was just as good, with the amazing Abba Gold performing on Saturday night - they played all our favourites together with the less well known album tracks that few tribute bands play - thanks to Abba Gold for that.
Voulez Vous brought their new and awesome show telling us the story of Abba through words, music and drama - that will remain long in the memory, it is difficult to think of a better end to the weekend.
Thanks also to Chris Green for his comedy and characters.
We Abbagirls fans can see them at Kathryn Courtney O'Neill's next event, the Bristol Abba Day on 6 November. Send and e-mail to Kathryn and tell her if you can come to Bristol or send feed back on the Hemsby event - we owe it to her for all that she does by fully supporting these events, especially those of us who would appreciate going to an event nearer to home!
Thanks once again to Kim Gilda and Colin, see you soon.
John, Liz and Triza
