Press Release Summary: The Peak Village Outlet courtyard will once again be
transformed on Saturday 4 October, when the highly acclaimed Abba tribute band Abba
Revival will give a free live performance for shoppers and visitors at 12.00pm.

Press Release Body: They will be performing some of the timeless Swedish band’s pop
classics such as Dancing Queen, Knowing me Knowing you and Super Trouper.

The appearance of Abba Revival at Peak Village, in Rowsley near Matlock, is the
second tribute band to perform at the shopping village; last weekend, shoppers were
treated to the excellent vocals and music of the Stoned Angels, the top Rolling
Stones tribute act.

Martin Langsdale of Peak Village said: “With the recent success of Mamma Mia! the
movie, we thought it would be fantastic to bring the well known and much loved music
of Abba to Peak Village for shoppers and visitors to enjoy at Saturday lunch time.
The Stoned Angels were a huge success last weekend and all the visitors to Peak
Village really enjoyed the performance – there was a great atmosphere at the village
and we know that the free performance on Saturday 4 October will have at least the
same effect. We are keeping our fingers crossed for another decent weather day like
we had last weekend.”

Lisa (Frida) of Abba Revival says of the bands talents: “It’s not just a case of
singing the songs. You almost have to become Abba and live the dream. Every line of
every song, every nuance of each verse and chorus is ingrained in the audience’s
consciousness and we don’t have any margin for error. Everybody knows how it should
sound, and should look, so we are always equally excited and nervous before each and
every show.”

Stuart Hollings, the booking agent for Abba Revival, says that the band never fails
to give an impeccable performance and really knows how to get the audience going.
“Their sheer passion for the music of Abba and recreating the genius of the band
means that the visitors at Peak Village are in for a real treat”.

These events are the first in series of planned attractions at Peak Village in the
run up to the Christmas season. Peak Village is home to nearly 20 retailers
including national names like Cotton Traders, Leading Labels, Ponden Mill, The Cook
Shop and Mountain Warehouse. The outlet shopping centre attracts 750,000 visitors a
year and offers visitors the opportunity to combine shopping with other local
attractions. Peak Village is located in Rowsley on the Chatsworth Road between
Bakewell and Matlock.

Both Abba Revival and Stoned Angels can be seen again live on stage, later in the
year when they are performing full sets at The Maynard, in Grindleford, just 10
miles away from Peak Village, on 22 November and 6 December respectively.
