The timeless sound of ABBA never fails to get people of all ages on the dance floor. Sarah's 'One of Us' show offers a solo tribute to ABBA for a fraction of the cost of a 4-piece Abba, or duo, and entertains you with authentic sounding vocals and an uplifting performance of the classic ABBA hits, along with her interactive 'Svenglish' banter. This is followed by an eclectic mix of dance-floor fillers from across the decades, including top party anthems such as 'I will survive' (Gloria Gaynor), 'Don't stop me now' (Queen), and 'I'm outta love' (Anastacia) which are guaranteed to get party-goers singing along. Her act appeals to all ages, whether you're 7 years old or 87 years old!

The party set can be tailored to requirements (e.g. all 70s if desired or a mix of 70s& 80s or 60s to 00s). Background party music can also be supplied as an optional extra, saving you the cost of a DJ.

Ideal for birthday parties / hen parties / weddings / wedding anniversaries / promotional events / abba tribute evenings / 70s evening / garden parties / live music nights at pubs and clubs and more. Equally happy singing to 8 people eating their dinner in a kitchen (seriously - it's been done), as singing to 4,000 people at an outdoor festival - and anything in between.

Things to consider

• Costume and make-up changes are part of every set in my performance, so I will require somewhere private to get changed and leave my belongings while I perform. This may be e.g. a store-room/ kitchen / office / bedroom. PLEASE NOTE: a public toilet is impractical and NOT suitable (unless it's a disabled toilet that is locked during my performance). I will not require a mirror, as I bring my own.
• I am sometimes asked to sing songs I would not normally sing. If I know the song then I would be happy to oblige. However, please ask me in advance if you would like me to sing a specific song (I'm happy to do the odd special request), as I may not know the song and must source and buy a new backing track and spend an hour or so learning it.
• For my performance I use a radio microphone, a mixing desk, small laptop and 2 active speakers on stands. The performance area must allow space to put the speakers either side of me, and slightly in front of me (NOT behind me), to avoid 'feedback' which is caused by the sound from the speakers coming back into my microphone and causing a feed-back loop (i.e. a horrible booming or screeching sound). This is normal for most performers with a P.A system. If the area is small, then singing in a corner often works best as the speakers can stand close to the walls in front of me, while I perform in the corner, avoiding feedback and any kind of hazard.
