Additional information

This was a specially-filmed greeting by Benny and Björn to the attendees of fan convention ABBAfest in Brighton - a weekend of activities in Brighton organised by Vaughan Davies, and which took place across the weekend of Friday 11 - Sunday 13 June 2004, to celebrate 30 years of ABBA's Eurovision win.

Benny started off at the piano playing a 'honky tonk' version of Waterloo and was joined by Björn who said, "I hope you have a good time in Brighton".  Benny added, "just like we had 30 years ago".  He then proceeded to play a couple of notes from The Beatles' When I'm 64 (ie. "When I get older losing my hair") complete with bum notes at the end!

Thanks to Vaughan Davies and Alex Jones.
