ABBA — Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus

Benny Andersson (b. 1946) and Björn Ulvaeus (b. 1945) — the songwriting heart of ABBA — crafted pop perfection: Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes It All, Mamma Mia, SOS. Behind the glitter lies extraordinary musicianship — soaring counter-melodies, rich vocal harmony and arrangements that reward a full orchestra.

Half a century on, their songs fill concert halls as effortlessly as dance floors, from symphonic tributes to the West End and beyond.
