Meet the Band

Peter is a seasoned professional musician specialising in the guitar, particularly fond of hamming it up as Bjorn in many ABBA tribute bands. He taught himself how to play the guitar, starting at the age of 8. He is a real prodigy and boy does it show in his spectacular playing. His career includes touring with the other Eurovision famed pop group Bucks Fizz, also The Platters, Cannon and Ball and Bobby Davro. Peter Set up and developed his own Abba tribute band Abba 2, but after 4 years of running this band he got itchy feet and decided to spread his wings and tour around Europe with Louise, where they worked with other Abba tributes. Peter took with him his fabulous rock style of playing and ideas of perfecting the ABBA show. It was at this time Peter worked with Bjorn Again and Abba Mania as well as various other Abba tributes, too numerous to mention. After working all over Europe, Peter decided to return to his native Wales to establish a brand new supergroup, the ABBA tribute band “Bjorn to Rock” having discovered the missing ingredient from all other tributes, the “Rock” element. Hear his superb playing on our "Sound Bytes" page. |

Louise is a fully trained, professional singer and has been performing since the age of fourteen, where she began her stage career singing and dancing in musical theatre, and this shows in her superb performance as Agnetha. Louise achieved a degree in performing arts at Swansea Metropolitan University, where she branched into acting and stand up comedy. Her humour never fails to rear its head in her Abba performance, providing the audience with a wonderfull, all round night of entertainment. She landed the lead in the comedy musical “Funk Face” for which she obtained a best actress award in the Swansea bay film festival, and since then has starred in many short films and is a much sought after actress in her native Wales, one role of which was starring in Mal Popes' Capuccino girls. A natural mimic, Louise is able to imitate many people and has perfected her impression of Agnetha. She has worked with many Abba tributes including Bjorn Again, Abba Mania and Abba 2, alongside her husband Peter. Louise also worked with the big band Swing Shift displaying extreme versatility in being able to perform any song in any style. She originally started her tribute life playing the role of Frida but then discovered she had a superb vocal range and could play the Agnetha role with ease. Since She is now married to Peter, she loves nothing more than being able to don the blonde wig and have a good old flirt with her stage and real life huband. Just like the real ABBA.

Ray is a multi talented musician, being able to play the keyboards, Acoustic guitar, mandolin, ukulele and bass guitar. You name it he can play it. We even have to hide the cutlery. He started playing professionally at the age of fifteen and has spent many years establishing himself as a well respected and much sought after musician. He has also been playing various instruments for the well known blues band Panic Station for the last fifteen years. He has also played with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Bjorn Again. Not only can Ray play the keyboard superbly with his Benny-like style, but he also plays the mandolin and acoustic guitar for various Abba songs during the set, giving even more authenticity and uniqueness to our Bjorn to Rock tribute band. Ray is by far, the best "Benny" out there. His sheer energy alone, in his performance, puts him well above the rest, not to mention his fantastic musicianship.He is the perfect addition to our band also bringing with him a dry wit and great sense of humour. |
