Abba Reunion Charity Concert

Saturday 7th August 2010

Following the amazing success of last years event, and following countless enquiries, organiser Rob Bryant has decided to organise another summer charity concert at Mallory Park.

As a result of last years show an astounding £15,000 was donated to Spinal Research, helping them to pursue their clinical trials & research.

The weather gave a fantastic summers evening and over 2500 people turned out to support the charity event, enjoying a brilliant show from Queen tribute band 'The Bohemians'.

Rob says he'd like to reaffirm his sincere thanks to John Ward and all the staff at Mallory Park, the generous event sponsors and anyone involved in any way with last year's event.

The very notable donation will enable Spinal Research to carry on it's ground-breaking research into finding a cure for spinal cord injury, and give hope to the many thousands of people throughout the UK that are affected in some way.

Reunite with ABBA...

This year Rob is organising an 'ABBA Reunion Charity Concert', planned for Saturday 7th August and with the support of a 70's disco he's sure it will prove at least as popular as last year.

'ABBA Reunion' is the creation of the director, producer and choreographer of the award winning 'ABBA Mania' musical, and stars the original 'Frida' from the West End cast.

The live 7 piece band gives ABBA fans the opportunity to once again re-live the addictive ABBA phenomena that swept the airwaves and discos during the 70's and 80's.

Following a highly successful run in London's West End together with a phenomenal 4 year European tour, this critically acclaimed ABBA tribute act are now coming to Mallory Park!

The format for this years show will not be too dissimilar to last years and will include:

• Covered Event Stage (larger than last year to accommodate 'live' 7-piece band)
• Professional PA System (again bigger than last year - catering for up to 5000 people)
• Family Funfair (with rides for all ages - including Waltzers & Dodgems)
• Numerous Licensed Bars
• Hot Food Stands (hot-dogs, burgers, chips, jacket potatoes, do-nuts, ice cream etc)
• Pyrotechnic Finale (with fireworks from behind staging)
• Gates Open 6pm (with people encouraged to bring their own picnic - we're also having a 70's Disco with professional event DJ to entertain the crowds, both prior to the concert & during the interval)

With large high profile companies like NEXT Plc & Walkers Crisps among the main sponsors of the event, as well as this years concert being held in association with Leicester Sound 105.4FM (who will be promoting the show 'on-air' throughout the summer), Rob is certain the concert will prove a massive success.!

Borders group:

Borders used to run a Manga Group on a Thursday evening, with more of a focus on drawing than in the Enderby group. Since Borders closed, many have been missing the group. One of the regulars has relaunched it at Enderby Library on a Wednesday evening, hopefully it can become a monthly fix, the last Wednesday of each month, 6-7pm.
