“Abba Fever - the five piece band who bring party time to the music of Abba. Here at Encore, we have consistently booked the band for the past five years to play our Corporate Events functions as well as Christmas party nights across North East England and Yorkshire.
Such is the popularity of Abba Fever and the quality of their show that we are unashamedly selfish in acquiring runs of dates for almost the entire month of December to play at Hotels and function rooms where we have promotional representation.
Waterloo, Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes It All, Does Your Mother Know, Thank You For The Music..... the list is endless and this is one dose of fever for which our customers return year after year.”
Andy Jones, Encore

Well, it all started with a recorder for Michelle, then progressed to the flute, classical piano and then achieved an A level in Music at college. Michelle also owns an acoustic guitar and bass guitar, but to be honest, her playing is very bad and she needs a lot more practise. Michelle has been part of several original writing bands and currently sings and plays piano with Damon Downs. Michelle decided to diversify her musical performance and soon joined Abba Fever.
