Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Jan Gradvall, author of The Book of ABBA: Melancholy Undercover
Q: What made ABBA stand out within Swedish society in those times?
ABBA's unique style and success contrasted sharply with the left-wing cultural expectations of the time, creating a division where they were beloved by the public but disparaged by critics.
Our Last Summer & The Piper
Q: Arbitrary marks out of 10 for The Piper.
I think The Piper is probably going to get no more than a 6.
Our Last Summer & The Piper
Q: What do you think of The Piper, Jamie?
I think it's unusually political for ABBA. Bjorn doesn't tend to write many political lyrics because it's like non-personal.
My, My! The 50th Anniversary of ABBA Winning Eurovision
Q: What can you tell us about the singing workshops you run?
Lorraine Bowen runs ABBA singing workshops where participants experience the joy of singing ABBA songs, offering a unique opportunity to connect with the music.
My, My! The 50th Anniversary of ABBA Winning Eurovision
Q: What was the impact of ABBA on Britain at the time?
ABBA transformed the music scene with their catchy and well-constructed songs, which were unique compared to previous acts like The Beatles.
