Abba's Angels is a brand rather than a definitive set of people. This ensures that the show always goes on, even in the event of accidents and illness. It also most importantly keeps the energy levels high and means each show is perfomed with enthusiasm and vibrancy.
Our team of musicians are all hand picked by Louise, the founder member and manager of Abba's Angels and have to meet her own perfectionistic high standards of musical ability, singing, and performing before being able to work for Abba's Angels. All are professional musicians and extremely talented. |

| Kevin |
| |
Kevin first appeared professionally as one of Fagin’s gang in the West End revival of Oliver! At the age of 9! There followed a series of ‘blink and you’ll miss ‘em’ appearances on TV including a part in BBC’s Growing Pains before before discovering the hybrid world of actor/musician Rock’n’Roll shows both on tour and in the West End.
Playing Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums, Harmonica, Saxophone and singing (not all at the same time) Kevin has appeared in The Roy Orbison Story, Elvis – The Musical, Return to the Forbidden Planet, Jailhouse Rock, Summer Holiday, Blood Brothers, Come Dancing, Circus Of Horrors, Rock and Roll Heaven, Dancing in the Streets and Thriller Live!
Having worn many costumes and wigs along the way he feels naturally drawn the swedish locks of Benny and Bjorn on occasion! |

| Pete |
| |
Pete is one of the best guitar players out there on the tribute circuit and also makes a very cute Bjorn, when he drops his normal Welsh accent for a Swedish one!
Having picked up a guitar aged 6 he has worked in almost every musical genre there is including the highly technical jazz area underlining his undoubted expertise
Pete has worked with several professional Abba Tribute acts including Abba 2 Bjorn Belief, Wales' premier Abba tribute. He has supported Diana Ross, Slade and Sister Sledge

| Slado |
| |
Slado ( real name Pete but gets confused withour other Pete !) ) is another multi talented musician covering both the Bjorn and Benny roles for Abba's Angels. Quietly confident off stage he rocks with the best of them on stage.
Slado has been working with Abba's Angels since early 2008. Like Mike, Slado is an exile from the North West who moved to Salisbury 10 years ago. He has played guitar and keyboards for 20 years now and been performing and writing in several different bands over time - cover bands as well as a couple of original bands - appearing at many venues across the South. Slado has also been teaching guitar in and around Salisbury for last 5 years, and recently become a member of the Registry of Guitar Tutors. |

| Mike |
| |
Mike hails from Wigan originally but now lives in Salisbury, Wiltshire and can play multiple instruments including guitar, bass, drums and keyboards - multi-talented you could say ... or a show off!
A great keyboard player and an ever better stage performer, Mike can camp it up with the best of them with his pseudo swede accent and on stage silliness and flirting with his long suffering "wife" Frida
Mike has played with many Wigan based bands like Rehab, The Gringos and the Dave Mace 5 (peculiary a 6 piece!) as well as other original bands before converting to the Abba tribute world. Obviously now there's no going back.....

| Steve |
| |
Although originally a mathematical physicist by education and IT professional by day, Steve has been playing electric guitar for over 15 years. Iinspired by the likes of Dire Straits, his studies led him into heavier music and the strange world of the neo-classical guitar virtuoso, including another Swedish export, Yngwie Malmsteen.
Inspired by the strong classical influences in ABBA’s music (particularly in songs like “Lay All Your Love…”), and the rock edge added by Bjorn, Steve has always been a fan, and jumped at the chance to play with ABBA’s Angels. For Steve, it’s not just about the “Money Money Money”… |
