Booked for Birthday party

The girls were brilliant, totally set the mood, the interaction with our guests and especially my sister who has special needs was amazing and made her 50th birthday that much more special, we couldn't have asked for more. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the girls totally made the night. From me and my family, we would like to thank the girls from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful evening.

Booked for Birthday party

ABBAStars arrive with a warm smile and friendly demeanour. They have a simple and effective tech set up. Their out fits and stage presence was excellent. They both had really good voices and everyone got up to dance. They also made it very personal for me the birthday girl. I would highly recommend them.

Booked for Birthday party

Outstanding, what a fantastic evening and all down to Sam and the group. My wife was overwhelmed as it was a Surprise 50th birthday party for her and Sam went above and beyond to involve everyone especially my wife, who loves Abba. From the initial booking to the final departure Sam has been so helpful and professional. The whole griup made it a night to remember, and my wife is still in shock. Thank you so so much for making it a very very special birthday for her. Highly recommended.

Party Showcase — The Uptempo 80s Cabaret Star Who Had the Entire Room Belting Out Wham!

What we loved about this event

This nationally touring singer specialises in high-energy 80s hits, putting on shows that have earned features in publications like Forbes and the BBC. Crowds can expect a massive repertoire of retro floor-fillers ranging from Queen to Prince, all performed by a vocalist who recently won 'Best Solo Act' at the Scene Alba Awards. One recent group noted they were "totally blown away" by the artist's sheer energy, praising how effortlessly the musician "got everyone dancing and singing along." Such dynamic stage presence prompted the hosts to declare them a "top act" who they would "110% recommend" after providing so many happy memories.
