Bootleg ABBA recently shared the bill on two different concerts in Europe with 1980’s hit bands 'The Gibson Brothers'  (hit songs included "Cuba" and "Que Sera Mi Vida") and Imagination  (hits songs "Body Talk", "In And Out Of Love” and "Just An Illusion") their shows were rather good...Leee John's voice sounded great!...it’s forced us to try a little harder to reach the high notes...especially Benny!

As you may know, in the biz , Bootleg Abba (hard living musicians!) are known for drinking large amounts of tea.
Well this weekend was an enormous challenge for us; we couldn’t get cups of tea during our travels, in the sound check or even after the show. How did we manage to sing in tune and remember the words to the songs?
...we had to substitute our favorite tipple for ....wine!
It seemed to work…but we cant remember the shows!

What can we say?... We really enjoyed the show we did at Reading Uni on 17/04/08 many thanks to everyone who attended...thanks again! (*See Guest Book post 16/05/08)

Thanks again to everyone at the 'Limelight Crewe' we had a great night with you  on the  21st March

Did you notice  that all the members of Bootleg  Abba are looking a little fitter these days? (we are all on 'Benny's  veggie meat ball diet!)

We had the pleasure of the one and only 'Tony (Jonah) Jones' on V drums during our last 3 shows
(Leatherhead theater / Roncq France and Abbeville France).
Tony did a great job   ...counted us in...counted us out...and almost managed to keep pace with Ag and Fr's
wine tasting!
Thanks to everyone at these shows,we had a great time...hope you did too!
Take a look at the pics from Roncq on our gallery...

Question: What do you get when you add a haunted castle on a cold October the 28th night ,some English ,French and Finish people mixed together with a hint of Bootleg Abba?

Answer: A great night and a great show!'

Thanks everyone ,
hope we all understood each others accents!

Over the last 20 days it seems as though Frida has been changing her image,
Not just her hairstyle and clothes…. but the shape of her face and body!
What is going on?
Check out BA.T.V on this site between 14th Oct to the 24th Oct 2007 and find out.
P.s. Where is ‘Sven’?… On Holiday?…Tuning his V-drum’s?…In hiding?…
If you see him, let us know

An eventful weekend...yet again we had a great show in Thais  (near Paris)
We met the one and only 'Killer Queen' at the hotel (great band. great guys!)
Sven was indisposed so 'Dave' played (for the first time ever) the V-drums
Check out a small selection of photos on our gallery from Thais
Sadly we have now finished the French section of shows for this year and now will continue with our U.K dates
Hope to see everyone again in France during 2008
Au revoir

Great weekend ,we really enjoyed our show in Bristol...then went straight to 'Le Havre' and had another great show 'thank you !  

Fun and games on our Thursday 6th Sept show...the airline lost Sven's V-drum kit at Gatwick airport,
.... he had to use a hired acoustic kit at the concert  (see photos of La Rochelle in the gallery)

After he stopped crying (approx 4 hours!)...he managed to assemble the complicated  acoustic puzzle, then tune it and finally play a blistering show like the rock God he is!  (I guess all those years of listening to Cozy Powell came in usful)

We have just up-loaded a selection of still photographs to our gallery from one of our recording studio sessions,
check out the pics of 'Beowulf Lundegard' (our studio engineer)  cool guy! knows his stuff, and best of all
he makes the best cups of tea in the world (we only drink T.E.A.!)
We now have 11,093 hits on our YouTube video clips..great.

Again we had 2 great shows this weekend, one in Switzerland, the other northern France.

Last week we had 2 great shows, 8th and 9th Aug in France, thanks to everyone involved with the concerts
