Those attending - Me, my well scrubbed up Missus, Archie, Archie's Missus, Archie's nipper.



Appologies - The Mongerford two (apparently there was a programme on Discovery channel about a world wide Skandanavian Credit card rally).



The Group - A Great audio/visual experience, first set was Abba songs then finished off with 70's / 80's songs. Considering that this was only their 3rd show, they performed extreemly well - far better than the usual so called entertainment in the TRNC (who could forget the fat bird singing in the curry house ??)....



The Venue - Nice hotel, good view from roof terrace, but felt like we were in a corridor with the band in the middle - Were advised by Claire that "drinks prices had been specially reduced for the evening, with beer for 6TL" - Well they weren't going to get in trouble from the advertisings standards lot, but the size of the beer bottle for 6tl was "tiny" -

Continued.....



The last time i had seen such a small bottle it had Coca-Cola in it and a straw pertruding from the top...



You needed 2 bottles for a man-sized drinK, making 12 TL for a beer, which is too much in these cash strapped times....



The Pia Bella offer's far lower beer prices and, ambiance wise, is a better venue (in my humble opinion).



Overall - A great nights entertainment, which the quirky layout and the OTT beer prices didn't spoil - well done Abba Divas and Claire for organising.....

mess 9 - David - you need to get your ar@e round the curry house when that fat bird sings, then listen to Abba Diva's...



In car terms it's like comparing a 1970 Hilman Avenger Estate with a dodgy second syncro with an new Audi A4 cabriolet.....

mess 14 - first post and you are slagging people off - i'll take that with a pinch of salt, you are probably the "fat bird from the curry house" with sour grapes...



I was involved in band management in the UK and Abba Diva's get my vote.....

We enjoyed the show, fair play, it was only the third time out for them and they did really well. We will watch them again.

Perhaps you should have your hearing aid stepped up a bit!! as us young ones don't need to------have heard better at the Curry House---big time. But if you are a happy bunny with that you go for it. Please let other people make up their own minds.



We for one would not give them house room.

You are continually very negative about Abba Divas. I wonder why?? By the way, you've just cheered me right up - I'm 41 and on your profile it says you're 39. I must therefore be one of 'us young ones' then!

Great show, great sound. However, one must attempt to empathise with the other 'entertainers or the family of such 'entertainers' or friends thereof, who have posted negative comments on here. After all, it must be very difficult for them to match the quality of the Abba Divas. Hopefully said 'entertainers' have day jobs.



A shorter version of my musings could, of course, be:-



The negative posters doth protest too much, methinks.
