Abba Vision

The Band

Lorraine Chappell is a star waiting to happen. She trained at the Royal Ballet School and Arts Educational and has since been in every West End show you can think of, including Phantom of the Opera and Evita. She has just finished a season with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford and then a transfer to the West End.

Lisa Beckwith trained at Italia Conti and hasn't stopped working since, quite a feat in this business. Among her West End credits is Starlight Express, and she can be seen in Robbie Williams' video "Rock DJ" - she's the skater in the purple afro!

Agnetha

Marie-Claire Follett trained at ALRA. Credits include Katerina in the Taming of the Shrew at Earl's Court, lead roles in the films: Wargames and Legionnaires. As well as being signed to East-West Records and session work for Sony and Serious Records, Marie-Claire has just finished touring with the Bard and the Blade and can be seen in the Domain names.com advert, NewBlood.net and two pilot episodes of Spearian's Children in February 2002.

Frida

Patrick Jamieson trained at Art's Educational Drama School. Since then he has appeared in touring musical productions of Evita, Fiddler on the Roof and Peter Pan. In the West End he has played Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Techniclour Dreamcoat with Phillip Scofield. TV credits include Bugs, Newsnight and Only Fools and Horses.

Bjorn

Irish born Mark Pollard trained at Guilford School of Acting. His West End credits include Starlight Express, the Mousetrap and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat with Philip Scofield. He worked with Tommy Steele and Paul Nichols in Singing in the Rain understudying both male leads. TV credits include Pebble Mill and talking telephone numbers. Mark is also an accomplished script writer and has written for Clive Anderson.

Benny

Andy "Stax" Marshall (guitar) went to a well know holiday camp when he was four years old. They got him up on stage for a reason he can no longer remember and they stood him next to a guitarist with a Stratocaster Cherry Sunburst. From that day on he knew what he wanted to be. Classically trained, but funky as anything, we are proud to have Andy in our band. Credits include Prince, Michael Jackson, Allan Holdsworth and Mozart (I think he's lying about the last one though!).

David Osrin (Bass) started his musical career at the age of 16. He'd played with many of the
Greats including more recently, Tom Jones, The James Taylor Quartet, Belinda Carlisle and Ricky Martin. He didn't really feel he'd quite made it off the ground. but he kept trying, as hope springs eternal. Now, discovering the joy that is Abba, his career looks set to finally take off - largely due to a pair of big white flares and some windy outdoor concerts!

Lee "Sticky" Wickens (drums) is the self-named musical prostitute of the band. Although based in London he can be hired to the lowest bidder from Moscow (The King-EMI Records) to Milan (Ford car commercials ). His alter ego, Jurgen Schmurgen, is a Jewish Swede with a love for all things Abba and a sparkly white drum kit, which he plays with impeccable ....................... timing. Credits include Guns and Roses.
