Meet Abba Tribute Sensation:-

Melody French is AGNETHA -
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 Sensation and hopes to see you very soon.

Carly Hobbs is FRIDA -
Australian born and bred, Carly can't remember a time when she hasn't been on stage! Growing up in a musical household, the music of ABBA was never far away and Carly was hooked from a young age. While studying performing arts at Melbourne's Monash University, Carly created the lead role of Traute in the world premier of the musical The White Rose which she then toured with to Singapore. Performing professionally for the last 10 years, other roles Carly has played include Mimi (Rent), Mabel (Mack and Mabel) and Millie (Thoroughly Modern Millie) for which she won a prestigious musical theatre award. On the acting front, Carly can be spotted in numerous films, commercials and television shows, including On the Beach and Neighbours. Leaving Australia, Carly spent several years touring the world with leading cruise companies P&O and Thomson as lead singer.
Having been bitten by the ABBA bug in her youth Carly spent much of her time at sea performing as Frida in the company ABBA shows. After settling in the UK it seemed the obvious choice to take the role of Frida once more in Sensation.

Pete Nulty is BJRN -
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 ABBAs 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 having worked with some of the best 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.
