IT'S TIME to dust off your platform boots and brush down your denims as Guiseley gets set to play host to all things ABBA.

Voulez Vous will be bringing their show to the theatre on December 15 to get everyone on their feet and dancing to the classic tracks from the supergroup. The performance will feature award winning vocalists who have been wowing audiences for the last 20 years all around the world.

Gary Birtles, who performs as Bjorn and has been with the band for several years, said: "I love this music, it’s so uplifting, all the songs are so catchy and are guaranteed to get your feet tapping.

"It’s amazing to watch the faces of the audience when the show starts, straight away they want to be up out of their seats and dancing all night."

Gary says he has been likened to Bjorn all his life with people telling him how much he looks like the Swedish superstar.

He added: "Everytime I did a solo show people would come up to me and tell me I look just like Bjorn, so when the opportunity came to make a living out of it and with Voulez Vous, I jumped at it, plus I absolutely love the music. I can remember exactly where I was when they appeared in Brighton to win the Eurovision. The highlight so far for me has been playing a festival with 6,000 people just partying and dancing to the music, also we were appearing with Slade who were my heroes in the 70’s."

Voulez Vous were one of the first ABBA tributes to start the craze back in 1991 and the band have travelled all around the world entertaining ABBA fans.

Lorrie Brown who portrays Agnetha, has just won her third National Tribute Award from the agents association and Denise Johnson who portrays Frida, appeared on Terry Wogans Eurovision Competition to find a group to represent the UK.

Just like the original ABBA itself the band is made up of two couples.

Gary said: "Its a great coincidence, Phil Green who portrays Benny is married to Frida and Lorrie and myself play Bjorn and Agnetha, hopefully we don't follow their path too closely."

Both couples in the supergroup ended up divorcing.

The band have travelled all over Europe with the show and toured around Germany culminating in a welcome home show for returning troops as they finished their tour of Afghanistan.

Gary said: "That was an amazing night, it was the first night back after a six month tour for the troops and they let their hair down, I have never seen the dance floor so full. It just goes to show the power of ABBA’s music that a band from the 70’s can have a room full of young soldiers jumping up and down on the dance floor, we will never forget that night."

They also supported 70’s supergroup Le Chic at a private birthday party in a castle in Ayrshire.

"That was another amazing night," said Gary. "We performed in a marquee the size of a football field and the whole area was decked out in 1970’s decor, including a Saturday Night Fever dance floor."

Voulez Vous can be seen at Guiseley Theatre at 7.30pm on Friday, December 15.
