Melody French is Frida

|
Born in Watford, Hertfordshire, Melody started
performing at the age of 5. At 16 she decided to pursue her love of song and dance at Performers Dance College in Essex.
Melody toured the UK, Ireland and Europe in 'Thank You For The Music', the
ABBA tribute smash hit show as Frida 2007/2008. She spent 2 years touring the UK in 'A Night At The Musicals' where she was Lead Singer/Dance Captain.
She has also toured in 'The Rock n Roll Years' as Lead Singer. Before that Melody worked as Lead Production Singer
for the Stadium Theatre Company onboard P&O Cruises stopping at destinations such as Australia, Japan, Singapore, North America,
The Carribean and even Sweden!
Melody always loved the music of ABBA growing up, from the high energy in songs such as Voulez Vous and Dancing Queen to
the slower ballads such as Name Of The Game and The Winner Takes It All. After being fortunate enough to work in theatres and arenas
around the world performing the songs of ABBA, it seemed the next logical step was to create an ABBA tribute band of her own.
Melody is proud to present to you all the music and energy of ABBA Sensation and hopes to see you very soon. |

Maria O'Brien is Agnetha

|
Maria started her career at The Birmingham
Children's Opera Company at the age of 11. She then went on to train at The Italia Conti Academy for Performing Arts
in London. Whilst still at college Maria performed at many prestigious venues including the London
Palladium and Hackney Empire. Maria joined Bill Kenwright's production of ‘Robin, Prince of Sherwood’
immediately after graduating playing the lead role of Marion at the Piccadilly Theatre.
Other theatre credits include: ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ starring along
side Phillip Scoffield, ‘Tommy’ at the Shaftesbury Theatre performing on many occasion
with Pete Townsend and 'Summer Holiday' at the Apollo Theatre.
Needing a change of scenery Maria then travelled the world as a
lead vocalist on board P&O Cruise liners receiving many positive comments along the way about
the similarities between her voice and Agnetha from ABBA. Upon arriving back on dry land she knew something was
missing in her life and after being offered a role in an ABBA tribute how
could Maria refuse? Maria loves playing Agnetha in such a fabulous ABBA tribute band, ABBA Sensation! |

Pete Nulty is Bjorn

|
Born in London, Pete grew up in a
household driven by music and at aged 14 began playing guitar. It was no surprise he soon discovered
a passion for a variety of music from the Classic Rock genre to Blues, Soul and of course, the family ABBA collection.
Pete soon found himself diving into the London club scene, playing with a number of bands over the years
and learning the ropes as a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. The hard work paid off and the years of
club nights culminated in a successful Rock-Pop project with the release of an album, appearances on radio
& television (MTV) and regular gigs across the UK. Pete then went on to enjoy a performing and writing
partnership with UK soul vocalist Audley Anderson, broadening his horizons with performances in Italy and
East Africa to name a few and co-writing material for an album project.
Looking for a new direction, Pete went full circle back to his childhood and re-discovered ABBA all over again.
Inspired by the strong songs, high energy performances and feelgood factor, it seemed only logical the next step
for Pete was taking the stage as Bjorn in an ABBA tribute band. |

Chris De Gliss is Benny

|
Chris is a huge fan of ABBA and loves all
of ABBA’s music starting from the early days of 'Ring Ring' and ‘Waterloo' right up to the final days of
'One Of Us'. An experienced musician, Chris has played piano and keyboard on a professional level for over
25 years in more than 40 countries all over the world including Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Malta, Cyprus,
Dubai, Qatar and Hong Kong to name but a few. In the process he was often told there was an uncanny resemblance
between him and the brilliant Benny Anderson from ABBA so it seemed like a perfect choice for him to join an
ABBA tribute band and perform as his favourite ABBA member.
In fact, the links to Sweden remain strong. Having worked on the Swedish Pianobar circuit in the 1980s and living
in the country for 7 years, Chris is now settled in the UK – but married to a Swede, of course.
Chris has lots of experience working with different ABBA tribute bands, allowing him the opportunity to get
to know the heart of the songs and how to deliver them in the way only ABBA can. Chris hopes you enjoy
the show. |
