REBOOT 2022

This lineup, being formed in 2018, includes two of the original band members being Pauline Berry (The Mermaids) and Stuart Pearce (Hello Sailor).

ABBA Heaven relaunched in 2022 introducing new key vocalist Vanessa (Ness) Abernethy as Agnetha. Not only that, but she brought with her guitarist & keyboardist John Gorbey, a welcome addition to the band, performing alongside Pauline Berry as Frida, and keyboardist/Musical Director Stuart Pearce. Additional performer in 2025 is singer Karl Donovan, as Benny.

PRODUCTION

ABBA HEAVEN! The New Zealand ABBA Tribute Band performs with all live vocals, guitar and two keyboardists over custom made studio tracks. Top Australian and New Zealand musicians were recorded to help recreate the sound of ABBA recordings.

Thus the musical beds live vocals, keyboards and guitar are performed over, produced by Stuart Pearce, are aiming at as much authenticity as possible.

THE VOCALISTS

Additionally, the blend of Vanessa, a soprano and Pauline, a mezzo soprano together are achieving a sound reminiscent of Agnetha & Frida, and frequently remarked upon by the audience members, and appreciated by ABBA fans nationwide.

STAGE PRESENTATION

The band performs in custom made replica costumes.

Many of the songs are choreographed, as both Ness and Pauline like to move!

The band provides full production including lighting, often a large backdrop, disco balls and full sound system.

THE ABBA SONGS!

Audience participation is encouraged and exceptional at each show. ABBA Heaven! really gets to feel the love, with the audience singing along to SOS, Mamma Mia, Fernando, Gimme Gimme, Voulez Vous, Waterloo, Super Trooper, Lay All Your Love On Me, and of course Dancing Queen! plus so many more.
