Bjorn Again

BJÖRN AGAIN was created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA by Company Director and Musician ROD STEPHEN. His show, no longer labelled a copy or tribute band but seen as a trademark brand in it’s own right, rapidly achieved worldwide cult status. Nowadays Rod's company Björnagain.com, based in London employs only session singers and musicians from the Northern Hemisphere with the production having grossed £42 Million GBP from 4300 performances in 61 countries in 21 years.

Having recently been endorsed by ABBA’s blonde vocalist AGNETHA FÄLTSKOG (pictured left with Rod), the ultimate aim, as always for Rod, is to keep his trademark brand at the top and continue for as long as people want to hear ABBA’s songs performed the way BJÖRN AGAIN does them.

Rod had previously been working in metallurgical research but at the age of 29 and inspired by the musicianship and onstage theatrics of the legendary New Zealand band Split Enz he decided on a career change to create a concept which would revisit the music and fashion of the '70's.

Rod had narrowed down his vision to be based on one of three all time top bands, The Beatles, Queen and ABBA and believing that the latter globally encapsulated all that was good (and maybe some not so good) about the '70's decided they were the perfect icon to focus his efforts on. After countless auditions and months of rehearsals and studying music and videos all Rod then needed was to devise a great show format and the name...and BJÖRN AGAIN was it !!!

So Björn Volvo-us together with fellow band members Benny Anderwear, Frida Longstokin and Agnetha Falstart and the backing band went on to achieve a cult status before setting their sights on Europe, North America and beyond........

Nowadays BJÖRN AGAIN.com personnel are comprised from a pool of British, European and Nth American musicians which Rod oversees and often plays Bass guitar and sings with in the backing band. The show which is actually neither a tribute to ABBA, nor a band, but rather a show with a Trademark Brand (not unlike MAMMA Mia the Musical) has been hailed as the most popular and successful act of its type in the world having been endorsed by Agnetha Fältskog.
