Platinum ABBA Concert @ Harpenden Public Halls

Platinum ABBA - 30 May 2008

100% Pure ABBA Excitement!

"These guys are seriously good...you will be blown away; close your eyes and they could just be the real thing; lots of energy and fun and all live!"
- Paul Campbell, Hampton Pool

Having thrilled audiences throughout the world with their stunning tribute to one of the world's most successful acts, Platinum ABBA have firmly established themselves in the super-league of tribute entertainment.

Platinum ABBA was formed as a 6-piece band in 1997 with the sole aim of becoming the best "ABBA" tribute band in the world. Individually, its musicians have toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in show business. Collectively, they are now making a name for themselves. With meticulous attention to every detail, they have combined stunning musicianship, authentic costumes, Abba-esque choreography and a suitable dose of tongue-in-cheek humour within an electrifying performance to produce a breathtaking show that appeals to all ages.

But the most important challenge to the band was to recreate the "ABBA" sound absolutely LIVE on stage, without resorting to hidden backing tapes and discs. After all..... ABBA never used them, so why should an ABBA tribute! Platinum ABBA were determined their audiences wouldn't be cheated with a glorified ABBA karaoke. And they have succeeded. Resulting in a show that delivers the kind of excitement and audience reaction only a LIVE band can deliver.

Just like the real ABBA!

Performance starts at 7.30pm
Tickets £15 (advance), £17 (on door)
Box Office: 01727 844488; 01582 767525
