New ABBA Collection Item - Agnetha Promo Poster

I just received this stunning large Agnetha 'A' promo poster.
This one is from Denmark.
Printed on beautiful thick poster paper and around an A1 size - fabulous !
Unfortunately, this one also states that Agnetha is the voice of ABBA - however, since it is written in Danish, I can overlook that fact ! lol

 

Agnetha Faltskog To Make Appearance At Stockholm Pride

AGNETHA WILL MAKE A UNIQUE GUEST APPEARANCE AT STOCKHOLM PRIDE
Stockholm Pride, Sweden and Scandinavia’s Largest Gay Pride Festival, proudly announce that singer and pop icon Agnetha Fältskog from ABBA will attend the Festival on August 1st. Agnetha will make a very special guest appearance on the Main Stage in Pride Park, Stockholm, where she will be presented with a Gold record for her critically heralded album, “A”. 

- We are incredibly honored to have the music icon Agnetha Fältskog from ABBA attend the Stockholm Gay Pride Festival to receive the audience’s cheers and love. It will be a unique opportunity for the Stockholm Pride audience to pay tribute to Agnetha Fältskog, especially for her latest album “A”, says Jörgen Eriksson, Festival Director of Stockholm Pride.
Agnetha Fältskog’s voice has been the soundtrack to millions of lives, and her new single, “Dance Your Pain Away” is the second song to be taken from “A” which marked Agnetha’s triumphant return to music after almost a decade, and her first original material for 25 years. “A” was recorded and produced by GRAMMY-nominated songwriter/ producer Jörgen Elofsson and the acclaimed producer and composer Peter Nordahl. Agnetha’s attendance at the Stockholm Pride Festival will give her fans a great chance to celebrate with her as she receives her Gold award. She will be joined on stage by Jörgen Elofsson and Peter Nordahl.
Stockholm Pride is a non-profit organization that operates with the aim to strengthen the LGBTQ-community’s living situation and rights. The festival is a joyful free zone for the LGBTQ-community, and strives to make it possible for members of the LGBTQ-community to take place in public sphere.

Stockholm Pride runs from July 30th to August 3rd. Tickets are available at Ticnet.se

Bjorn Performs On Stage - Visfestivalen i Västervik

Bjorn performing at Visfestivalen in Västervik

Bjorn Ulvaeus Makes Rare Stage Appearance

A rare sight: Björn performing in public – Photo: Facebook VisFestivalen i Västervik

 

Visfestivalen in Västervik was the setting for an unexpected event yesterday when Björn Ulvaeus performed on stage for the first time in many years. He was in Västervik to pay tribute to his former Hootenanny Singers bandmate Hansi Schwarz who died in January this year.
In front of a cheering crowd, Björn grabbed his guitar and joined Tony Roth (also an original member of the Hootenanny Singers) and played a few songs.
Björn, Hansi Schwarz, Tony Roth and Johan Karlberg formed the Hootenanny Singers in 1961.
Calle Åstrand, son of Hansi Schwarz reflected afterwards on the increasingly rare sight of Björn performing in public and said “it was great that he and Tony Roth wanted to do it.”
