The Australian ABBA Tribute Show are becoming regulars at the Airlie Beach Hotel, and yet they always bring in an amazing high energy crowd every time.
Band Manager Sam Bennett, who plays Bjorn in the show, says he and the rest of the band always enjoy performing here in Airlie Beach.
“We always love our trip to Airlie Beach itself, it’s a well-deserved break in the sunshine from the very unpredictable Melbourne weather,” said Sam.
“Everyone is always on holiday time there and it’s very easy to perform to a crowd that is there either on holiday or living that holiday lifestyle.”
Although Sam says he loves performing in front of the relaxed and fun Airlie Beach crowd because of the holiday lifestyle, it’s also due to the hits they perform too.
Sam says they perform all the favourites but also play some B-sides and hidden gems that the band love.
All members in the band have a theatre background and Sam believes it helps them deliver an authentic ABBA show for the crowd.
“I think doing an ABBA tribute show is the same thing as theatre, you're performing as a character,” explained Sam.
“We perform as Agnetha, Anni-Frid, Benny and Björn, we are a character, we have a story and a history.
“We all have our own connection to these songs, both in reality as performers, but also in characters.”
Having a strong stage presence combined with the catchy ABBA tunes makes it an unbelievably fun afternoon.
“I am always so excited to come to perform at Airlie Beach,” exclaimed Sam.
“It's always a big crowd, filled with people that plan to come there and people that are just walking through the street, see that we're playing and end up staying for two hours watching the show.
“It's always such a fun and high energy afternoon, so if anyone is even remotely near the Airlie Beach Hotel on the Saturday and Sunday, please come down. It's a free show, if you don't like it you can leave, but I doubt that you won't like it.”
