Abba tribute to perform at Harrogate Food and Drink Festival this weekend

Abba tribute Mamma Mania will be performing when the Harrogate Food and Drink Festival returns to Ripley this weekend.

Abba tribute to perform at Harrogate Food and Drink Festival this weekend The Harrogate Food and Drink Festival rolls into town again this weekend - and a popular tribute band will be among those taking to the stage. The festival is always a feast for visitors and brings an array of international food and drink, chef demonstrations, entertainment and live music. It’s all set for a return to its original date and venue in Ripley this Bank Holiday weekend. And Abba tribute band 'Mamma Mania' will be performing for visitors on the opening day of the festival. Mamma Mania have been performing at various theatres, festivals and charity balls throughout the North for the past decade. They've been performing together for ten years, meaning they’ve already beaten the time that the real Abba performed together! Expect a recreation of the onstage chemistry and stage craft which was unique to Abba with live vocals, live keyboard and live guitar - plus authentic choreography and handcrafted replica costumes.
