Bjorn Belief!

Abba 2 Bjorn Belief are now known as Bjorn Belief, same great line up, same great show .......

Bjorn Belief! was born in December 2002. Tina, Lorraine, Peter Colin (who all come from the Swansea area) were fans of ABBA and determined to show just how close they could be to the real thing.

It quickly became apparent how intricate the songs were even though they were technically classed as pop music. The classical and folk themes running through meant that only true players could handle playing them, which is why, apart from a very few top class bands, most other ABBA tribute bands mime.

Not only was Colin an exceptional synthesist and classical pianist, Peter is a Record Producer and fine musician with his own Recording Studio. Also Lorraine and Tina were seasoned singers who were well matched for their power and tonality. Together they create an amazing tribute, not only in sound but also in their resemblance to the supergroup.

When they perform, their audience quickly forget they are not listening the real ABBA. South Wales Evening Post review If you close your eyes you will think its the real thing youre hearing! The Stage Musically excellent with just the right amount of chat.

However, they all love the group Bjorn Again and have developed their own unique brand of comic asides, producing a hilarious show making tongue-in-cheek references to Swedish-isms and divorce. They have delighted audiences wherever they perform and have built a good following.
