Just so magical and so much love. My great friend Sandi Tosvik officiating was so perfect in every way. Spending the day with Sandi in her home town and then being whisked off to the ceremony. Slightly sweaty palms when I was handed the red box and became the ring bearer!
Apart from that moment a wonderful weekend".

ABBA: Against the Odds - new documentary
***************
The Brits thought Waterloo was beige, reveals new ABBA documentary Vicky Jessop — Tiempo de lectura: 2 minutos An exclusive look at an upcoming BBC show examines the impact ABBA’s hit single Waterloo had on the group’s lives ABBA might be one of the best-known bands in the world, but it wasn’t always that way. When the band scored one of Eurovision’s iconic moments with their hit single Waterloo in 1974, they initially faced an uphill battle in the charts – and in the public eye – to be taken seriously as a band, and not just a gimmick. An exclusive clip from the upcoming documentary ABBA: Against the Odds shows the impact that the single had on their lives. It opens with the band’s manager Stikkan Anderson signing them to Polar, a Swedish record label that had ambitions of breaking into the rest of Europe. “Stikkan believed in us from the beginning,” the group’s Björn Ulvaeus says in voiceover. “He always said, one day you’ll write a world hit.” That they did: the clip goes onto show how Waterloo rapidly conquered the European charts, scoring number ones in the UK, Belgium, Finland, Germany and more.  BBC/Rogan Productions/Alamy “When we won, it was just like pressing a button, and everything worked all over Europe,” Ulvaeus adds in a recorded interview from the time. That said, it wasn’t all an plain sailing. “In England, they thought it was quite beige,” Benny Andersson says. “Even if it the song was number one... if you’re a part of Eurovision, you’re dead afterwards.” The sentiment is echoed by Ulvaeus: “It was like an agreement amongst all DJs, amongst everyone.” Of course, ABBA did go onto conquer the charts, scoring multiple number ones and, fifty years later, opening ABBA Voyage in London. The documentary, which was produced by Rogan Productions and directed by BAFTA winner James Rogan, tells the story of ABBA’s creation. When they won the Eurovision song contest in 1974 with Waterloo, they faced an uphill battle in the global charts (and in their home country of Sweden) to be recognised as a genuine force in pop. But once they achieved success, that pressure threatened the relationships at the heart of the band. ABBA: Against the Odds will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from 6am on the 4th May, and on BBC One at 10.40pm on the 8th May

ABBA's secret to global stardom laid bare in tell-all documentary
Nicola MethvenABBA's secret to global stardom to be laid bare in tell-all documentary with archive footage
Global megastars ABBA topped the charts after winning Eurovision but fans will see a new side to the quartet in a brand new documentary using archived footage
In the 50 years since winning Eurovision, Abba have sold 385 million records but a new documentary lays bare their heartache as they struggled to get the recognition they deserved.
The musical establishment sneered at their frothy pop songs, the programme shows. It also tells how their quest to break America nearly broke them all and how they struggled as both of their marriages fell apart. Plus Agnetha and Bjorn were agonised at leaving their young daughter Linda behind for weeks on end as they toured.
In the film, which uses archive interviews from TV stations across Europe, viewers see how winning 1974’s Eurovision in Brighton was their ticket to global fame. But it also gave them a cheesy image they found impossible to shake. “In England, they thought it was quite beige,” Benny says.
“Even if the song was No1 in England if you’re a part of Eurovision, you’re dead afterwards.” But they didn’t give up, instead trying hard to find their identity in the wake of Eurovision-winning song Waterloo. Bjorn gives credit to their manager Stig Anderson, saying: “He always said ‘One day you’ll write a world hit’. “That meant a lot.” Mamma Mia was the song that turned things around.
Bjorn says: “With Mamma Mia we found we were a pop group. We found our identity.” He also says he and Benny were in awe of Agnetha and Frida’s voices, explaining: “Even if they sang very sad songs, they sound somehow jubilant.” But the press and musical establishment remained dismissive, with Swedish journalist Leif Schulman remembering: “You couldn’t be open about liking Abba.”
In 1975 Frida said she felt “very overwhelmed” by the criticism while Agnetha described the experience as “quite unpleasant”. In Australia however, they were hugely popular with songs like Fernando and during 1975-76 found themselves at the top of the charts for 42 weeks.
The song Knowing Me Knowing You meant that the UK could no longer be so dismissive of their skills. While still being dismissed as “simple and naive” they came up with 1976 global hit Dancing Queen, which Agnetha says gave her and Frida goosebumps as they recorded it.
But in other ways the cracks were already starting to show. In an interview Bjorn confesses that being in a band with his wife wasn’t always an easy ride. “Having to be together all the time can cause problems,” he admits. He and Agnetha had had a baby girl the year before Eurovision in 1973, and it was becoming hard to leave her behind in Sweden while they went away on tour.
“Everything happened at the same time,” Agnetha says in the film. Agnetha also says the endless speculation that she and Frida didn’t get on was untrue and hurtful. “So much has been written that Frida and I were not friends, it’s not very fair to do that,” she says. In 1978 Benny and Frida finally tied the knot after an engagement of more than seven years but Agnetha and Bjorn’s marriage was failing, despite the birth of their second child.
Bjorn says: “The marriage didn’t work. But we still worked very well together... so we decided to split up the marriage but not split up the band.” Agnetha says she thinks the decision was “very brave of us”. Another attempt to crack the US in 1978 ended with a terrifying flight in bad weather, which shook Agnetha so badly she became physically ill.
“After that, I got sick,” she says. “I said ‘I can’t do this’.” With Benny also finding that the touring sapped his ability to feel creative and write songs, Bjorn said it was time to give up on trying to be as popular in the US as they were in the rest of the world. Back in the UK, they were welcomed with open arms and the band finally started to feel the love.
When Abba kicked off a run of 38 concerts at Wembley, there was a clamour to get hold of tickets. Bjorn says their confidence grew. “I ran into Pete Townshend,” he recalls. “He said ‘do you know SOS is the best pop song ever written?’ I was so proud.” In 1980 they drew even more acclaim for The Winner Takes It All, which became one of the most celebrated break-up songs of all time.
Bjorn hints they put their own emotions into it and Agnetha says: “I tried to put my life experience and my feelings, everything in the song.” By the time Super Trouper came along later in 1980, to huge acclaim, they were being asked more about their difficult path to superstardom.
One interviewer asked: “You must be rich but are you happy?” and Frida admitted: “Sometimes, sometimes not.” But when it comes to being in the band, they drew strength from each other. Frida poignantly sums up their decade of domination, saying: “It wasn’t just the music, it was also love.
“It was a life lived together, somehow, all four of us.”

Benny Andersson creator of the new P2 radio jingles

https://www.facebook.com/sverigesradio/videos/416175154502866/
*************************************
Benny Andersson creador de los nuevos jingles de radio de P2
Un gigante de la música ha compuesto la nueva identidad sonora de P2, o jingles de radio como se dice coloquialmente. Benny Andersson ideó un total de 37 variaciones antes de que la elección recayera en el logo musical, que ahora ha grabado en varias versiones junto con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Radio Suecia. El resultado se conocerá en P2 a partir de hoy lunes 29 de abril.
Una identidad sonora o jingles de radio crean reconocimiento y atmósfera para los oyentes y unen el canal en un todo. Cuando le pidieron al compositor, músico y leyenda de Abba de renombre mundial que produjera los nuevos jingles de P2, no lo dudó, a pesar de que nunca antes había hecho algo así.
- ¡Acepté inmediatamente! Es interesante ver si puedes hacer un jingle en lugar de dos horas de música, dice Benny Andersson.
Lo describe como una misión lujuriosa.
- ¡Fue realmente divertido! Hice 37 diferentes para ver si el guante encajaba, dice Benny Andersson.
De las 37 variantes diferentes, unas pocas fueron seleccionadas por un grupo de trabajo en P2 bajo el liderazgo de Ella Petersson. Los jingles se grabaron junto con la Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio Sueca a principios de 2024 y se puede escuchar al propio Benny Andersson tocando el piano. Las grabaciones las mezcla otra leyenda: el ingeniero de sonido Bernard Löhr, que trabaja con Benny Andersson desde los años 80.

Benny Andersson upphovsman till P2:s nya radiojinglar
En musikalisk gigant har komponerat P2:s nya ljudidentitet, eller radiojinglar som man säger på vardagsspråk. Benny Andersson tog fram hela 37 varianter innan valet föll på den musikaliska logotyp som han nu har spelat in i flera versioner tillsammans med Sverige Radios Symfoniorkester. Resultatet hörs i P2 från och med idag, måndag 29 april.
En ljudidentitet eller radiojinglar skapar igenkänning och stämning för lyssnarna och binder ihop kanalen till en helhet. När den världskände låtskrivaren, musikern och Abba-legendaren fick frågan om att ta fram P2:s nya jinglar tvekade han inte, trots att han inte gjort något liknande tidigare.
– Jag tackade ja med detsamma! Det är intressant att se om man kan göra en jingel i stället för två timmars musikalmusik, säger Benny Andersson.
Han beskriver det som ett lustfyllt uppdrag.
– Det var jättekul! Jag gjorde 37 olika för att se om handsken passar, säger Benny Andersson.
Av de 37 olika varianterna valdes en handfull ut av en arbetsgrupp på P2 under ledning av Ella Petersson. Jinglarna spelades in tillsammans med Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester i början av 2024 och Benny Andersson hörs själv spela piano. Inspelningarna är mixade av en annan legendar – ljudteknikern Bernard Löhr, som jobbat med Benny Andersson sedan 80-talet.

Abba-ikonen: ”Kul uppdrag”
Publicerad:
Idag 13:36
Sveriges radios kanal P2 har fått nytt ljud. Och det är ingen mindre än ABBA-grundaren Benny Andersson som komponerat den – och själv spelar piano.
– Det är kul uppdrag, jag sa ja med det samma. Lite udda, säger han till radion.
Från och med i dag, den 29 april, får SR-kanalen P2 ny ljudidentitet mellan inslagen. I kanalen, som huvudsakligen sänder klassisk musik, hörs nu nämligen en sprillans ny radiojingel. Och kompositören är Abba-legendaren Benny Andersson.
Jinglarna spelades in tillsammans med Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester i början av året och det är Benny Andersson själv som spelar piano. Förutom piano hörs även bland annat celesta och flöjt.
– Det är ganska kul jobb, jag har gjort 37 olika för att se om handsken passar liksom, säger han till Sveriges radio.
Och av de 37 varianterna valdes ett antal ut av en en arbetsgrupp på radiokanalen under ledning av programledaren Ella Petersson.
Aldrig gjort något liknande
Abba-ikonen berättar att han aldrig tidigare gjort den här typen av uppdrag, men att han tackade ja på stående fot.
– Det är intressant att se om man kan göra en jingel i stället för två timmars musikalmusik", säger han.
Inspelningarna är mixade av Abbas ljudteknikern Bernard Löhr, som jobbat med Benny Andersson sedan 80-talet.

Lois Jeans relata su icónica camiseta, que usó la legendaria banda sueca en la década de 1970. La camiseta en cuestión, un ejemplar de color blanco cristalino decorado con el logo de Lois Jeans, ocupa un lugar especial en la historia de la cultura pop. La camiseta fue usada por tres miembros de ABBA una semana antes de participar en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión. En ese momento, la banda ya era popular en Suecia y otros países europeos, pero poco después se abrió paso completamente a nivel internacional, gracias en parte a su histórica victoria en Eurovisión con este éxito Waterloo.
La camiseta no es sólo una nostálgica retroceso. . También es una representación del icónico setenta estilo en ese momento. La banda vestía la camisa completa con jeans acampanados y chaquetas vaqueras. Detalles de estilo divertidos: Anni-Frid Lyngstad enrolló sus jeans a uno pantalones capri y combinó el look con alpargatas. Björn Ulvaeus terminó su conjunto con zuecos.
