DANCING QUEEN IN THE MEDIA

"Abba themselves would be amazed at the authenticity of the sound of these talented entertainers." Quest Newspapers, Queensland.

"The members are treated like stars when they come off the stage, after the final encore of
Dancing Queen."
Northwest News, Queensland.

"Finally a group has evolved out of Australia that doesn't destroy our favourite songs."
Albert & Logan News, Queensland.

"The audience think the group are famous. They get so lost in the music that they believe that they are Abba. Once you are there you just become so engrossed in the music that the fun just happens on its own."

DANCING QUEEN FANS

Dear (ABBA) Dancing Queen,

Thank you for the music! The show at the Dalby RSL left me totally mesmerised, you all captured the very essence of ABBA.
During the 1970’s I lived and breathed Abba, they were my escape to a happy place…. I felt such an overwhelming wave of emotions when you started to sing, I was filled with so many memories my eyes filled with water as I held back tears, yet I just wanted to get up and dance, I could feel that same tingle from the bottom of my stomach from thirty years ago. I miss Abba so much…. Your show brought me a much needed escape for those few hours you sang.
So to all of you Dancing Queen, Thank you for the music. As long as there are gifted people like yourselves Abba will never fade away.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to let you know that I saw you last Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The way you’ve managed to reproduce the ABBA sound is uncanny and as mentioned on your website, I could have closed my eyes and really believed I was listening to ABBA themselves. I must admit to watching very carefully to see whether anyone was miming because I was so blown away by how authentic you sounded! It was actually the third second time I have seen one of your shows so I knew I was in for an enjoyable evening.
Congratulations on such an enjoyable and entertaining evening. As a die-hard ABBA fan, I have to say that you have absolutely done them justice.

Thank you so much for a great show all our friends are still calling saying it was the best night of their lives. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves thanks to your great show.

Dear Dancing Queen,
I recently danced the night away watching you at Capalaba Sports Club and I have to say you are better than Abba was. Lynelle you were fantastic at singing the Winner Takes It All. Well Done!
Astin and Lynelle, your costumes were absolutely fabulous, I loved the costumes that you wore at the start of the show (the capes). Matthew you are so great at playing the keyboard, it was so...jazzy. I am currently learning to play the keyboard, and one day I wish to be as great as you!
Thanks for a great night!

Dear Lynelle, Astin, Renato and Matthew,
I would love to come and visit you and I think all of you are AWESOME and you guys ROCK. I just love you guys and Ihope that you can come back to the Hubertus Country Club again and perform another ABBA show. Iwould so love to stay in contact with you guys cause you all ROCK the WORLD. I love ABBA and I have all the songs of ABBA on my computer and I know all the words to all the songs.
I think that Lynelle and Astin look so pretty, and the boys were funny. My friend said she really loved Matthew's hair because he was bouncing it around and it was FUNNY. I am so excited to talk to you that I can't stop but I have to please reply back.
Love you all.

Hi to all members of Dancing Queen,
Your performance on Saturday was far more than I expected. I just love Abba so you were on a winner before the first note sounded. There will never be a group as good as Abba in my lifetime but hopefully groups like yours will be the next best thing. Looking forward to your return to Hervey Bay. I've framed your photo & put it in my bedroom. It is the first thing I see when I awake each morning.

Hi guys,
I attended the show on Friday night. This is the fifth time that I have seen you. When I saw you the first time at Norths and noticed that you were appearing Pine Rivers Bowling Club I got 40 of my closest friends to attend. Now 5 shows in I still say WOW what a night. You did not dissappoint in any way. Congratulations.

Hey,
My name is Kimberly Kennedy and I absolutely LOVED your show... 1st you are just as great as ABBA .. I know you probably get a lot of emails like this but you guys were amazing... I have loved ABBA since I was little... I love singing the songs word for word... and whenever you come to Crookwell (NSW) I have been to every show and sung along with you all... Also when Renato sang 'Does Your Mother Know' (which by the way is my favourite song) he pointed at me.. and my mother was right behind me... you guys were AMAZING and I love you Renato! and everyone else.. you really inspire me to go further with my singing! I LOVE YOU RENATO! Come back!..

Hey Lynelle, Astin, Matt and Renato,
My name is Wade and I was at your show on Saturday Night at Smithfield R.S.L. and I just wanted to say that you guys rock hard! I'm usually only exclusively into rock and metal (Slipknot, AC/DC, Motley Crue...) and since I saw your show I haven't stopped listening to my Mum's collection of Abba
records and CD's!! You all stand out for your showmanship and deserved the standing ovation.

Wade Dennis

To all the members of Dancing Queen, Thank you for your brilliant show at the Sharks on Friday. Our small group, up the back with our arms swaying absolutely loved every song and had a fabulous night. A special hello to Astin, with her beautiful sparkling eyes. Thank you for embarrassing me with the mic to sing "I do I do I do". Loved it and wished I could have done it justice and sung in key!!.
Thank you again for the fantastic show and we can't wait till you are over this way again.

We've just watched your show for the second time at Victoria Point Sharks Club. Bloody brilliant!!!! Beyond question the best show that I have ever seen and heard. I suspect that you are the real ABBA and have been using a time machine, please supply next weeks lotto numbers.
Fantastic show!!!!

Well, I drove down to Sanctuary Cove from Brissy last night to see your show, didn't know what to expect and I was wrapped!! Fantastic show - you people are great your hard work has paid off. I came down with friends that are 20 years older (their pushing 60) and I was thrilled to see such a mixed age group. Keep up the good work!! Oh, thanks for coming back out to sing Dancing Queen (we wouldn't have let you go without hearing it, so a big thankyou.

Hi to all,
We just wanted to send a quick message to say that we thoroughly enjoyed your show. It is truly a special pleasure to watch you all bring the magic that was ABBA to life again. It is obvious that you all work very hard to make the show as authentic as possible and your dedication and passion is evident in the quality of the entire production. To single out one performer from the group hardly seems fair as for us, each role was captured and presented beautifully. It is equally hard to single out one particular song as you all did each number so wonderfully. However, the special moment for us was when Agnetha sang "The Winner Takes It All". Absolutely breathtaking!
Thank-you to all of you and your backstage crew for entertaining us so wonderfully. It was a fantastic night.

Hello Dancing Queen,
Myself and husband and friends were at the Greenbank RSL gig at the front and loved every minute of it. I knew nearly every song and my voice showed me that today when I was trying to talk to people.....please don't every change, you guys are fantastic, wonderful, and many happy memories of my childhood came back to me of my cousin who had blonde hair, obviously ANNA and me with brown singing into hair brushes to ABBA. I still have a record and so does my Mum and I still have a small scrapbook of them too. Unfortunately the shirt was worn to death and I no longer have it, but have a photo of me wearing it so that's good enough for me!....Anyway keep up the good work guys.

Karen Jensen

Congratulations on a wonderful show last night. You are a very professional team and the drummer was spectacular, maybe you should give him a chance to show his skills while the girls are resting their voices. You really play to the audience and have everyone moving with you. We send our fondest wishes and hope that you don't tire with all the gigs that I notice you are due for before the end of the year.

Hi,
I am just sending this email to let you know how Ilove your shows, I have seen you twice at Redcliffe Leagues and you guys are really fantastic. For a mum of 3 and a full time youth worker there is nothing like seeing you guys and singing along to songs I actually know and can dance to. Can't wait to see you again for another great night of fun and laughter. Keep up the good work.
