Book update & ABBA Mania!

Hi everyone

Firstly, thanks for your patience! I’m happy to say the book is on its way from the printers and should be available end of Nov/early Dec. I’ve received an advance copy and it looks sensational! Check out my website for more details: www.christopherpatrick.com.au is now live and fully functional, with news, reviews, previews, how to order the book and more.  

It’s an amazing coincidence that, not only do I have my new book on ABBA’s music due for release in a few weeks, I’m also playing cello in an eight-piece string section in the fabulous UK show “ABBA Mania”, currently here in Australia for a limited season at Conrad Jupiters Casino on Queensland’s Gold Coast. It’s a brilliant visitation of ABBA’s live concerts from 1977 and 1979, resplendent with live strings, quite a rarity in ABBA tribute shows today.  Everything from Benny’s signature instrumental “Intermezzo No. 1″, “I Have A Dream” complete with a different school choir every night, and classics  like “The Name Of The Game” and “I’ve Been Waiting For You” are all superbly brought to life.  No gimmicks, just pure, gorgeous ABBA. Highly recommended! Check out the photo of me with the ABBA Mania! members on my website. 

More news soon!

Cheers,

Chris Patrick
