Bands and solo performers wanted for charity event

Date posted: Tuesday 7th October
Location: St Denys

Hi

We are currently seeking groups and solo performers, to play at Extra-ABBA-ganza! This will be a fund-raising event, with all profits to go The Society of St James, and will be held at The Talking Heads, Southampton, on a date (possibly a Sunday night in December) to be confirmed soon.

The idea is simple: around 8 bands, or solo performers, as varied in style as possible, will each play 2-3 songs from the oeuvre of the mighty ABBA, in a style of their choice- (“radical interpretations” are actively encouraged!). There’ll probably be a compere and a raffle to keep things ticking along between bands too.

What’s in it for you?
-This will a cracking night out- we confidently expect The Talking Heads to be rammed- so you’ll get a chance to play to the fans of all the other bands, who otherwise may not have heard of you.
-You’ll be contributing to a good cause
-Most importantly, it’ll be REALLY GOOD FUN!

We’ll sort out a fair way of deciding running order and song choices once we’ve confirmed the performers for the night, but I can guarantee that each band (if they want to) will get to play at least one song from what we consider to the ABBA “Gold” list....

... Which still leaves loads of cracking songs to choose from for your other song, including SUPER TROUPER, I HAVE A DREAM, CHIQUITITA, FERNANDO, DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW, GIMME GIMME GIMME (A MAN AFTER MIDNIGHT), DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW, THE NAME OF THE GAME, THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ETC ETC ETC...
Sounds like fun doesn’t it?

If you’re interested in performing, helping out, promoting, donating raffle prizes, or contributing in any way at all, then please contact us at extrabbaganza@hotmail.com, or at www.myspace.com/extrabbaganza. We look forward to hearing from you!
