Black Dyke Band Cancellation Sun 20.12.09

A copy of the letter sent out on 23rd December to all customers affected by the cancellation of the above event...

Cancellation of the Black Dyke Concert

Due to the adverse weather conditions on Sunday 20th December, we had to make the difficult decision of cancelling the Black Dyke Band’s Christmas Concert at Huddersfield Town Hall.

Many of our staff, customers and also some performers were unable to get to the venue due to heavy snowfall in the Huddersfield area. I appreciate this has caused disappointment for all, but the safety of our customers, performers and staff is always uppermost.

Over the past few days we have been working closely with the band to try and re arrange the concert. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find a date when both band and venue are mutually available. Our sincere apologies that therefore, we will not be able to go ahead with this popular event this year.

Refunds will be available from Tuesday 5th January 2010 and can be made by post or preferably in person.

As the news was announced that ABBA will finally join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the United States, tickets went on sale for BJÖRN AGAIN for Wednesday 10 March 2010 at Huddersfield Town Hall.

For a great night out BJÖRN AGAIN are hard to beat. With their authentic recreation of this legendary group they're sure to get everyone on their feet singing along to classics such as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Waterloo and many, many more hits.

BJÖRN AGAIN was created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne, Australia by Director and Musician Rod Stephen. His show, not labelled a copy or tribute band, but seen as a satirical parody of ABBA and a brand in it's own right, rapidly achieved worldwide cult status. Rod's production company bjornagain.com, based in North London, employs professional session singers and musicians and has grossed £35 Million from 3,500 performances in 50 countries in 21 years in the Northern Hemisphere.

Original ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog went to see the show and gave the group her stamp of approval, "It was a great show. I loved the choreography, it was very true to life. When do you play your next shows? Good Luck for the tour," - praise indeed!

Having been endorsed by ABBA's blonde vocalist Agnetha Fältskog the ultimate aim, as always for Rod, is to keep his brand at the top and continue for as long as people want to see and hear ABBA's songs performed the way BJÖRN AGAIN does them, hopefully for another 20 years!
BJÖRN AGAIN - 2010 Here we go Again features ABBA's hits and songs from Mamma Mia together with the legendary voice of host Tony Blackburn playing all the UK hits of 1988.

This is the greatest party night out for everyone of all ages.

Tickets are on sale now priced at £18.50 and are available from Kirklees Box Offices, tel: 01484 223200 / 01484 222444 / 01924 324501.
