In the 70’s I liked all of the usual music that guys were into — The Who, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ELO, the Eagles, etc. Later, I went through a major Punk/New Wave phase. But there was a part of me that absolutely loved ABBA. Heavily imprinted upon my musical memory they are.

For myself, it was a small step to go from ABBA to K3, despite the trio’s lack of English.

Karen Damen is my favorite member of K3, and I assure you that my preference has nothing to do with her resemblance to Frida in ABBA!

I’ve heard of Bjorn Again, but haven’t seen the act. I’ll see what’s available online. In general I’m not a fan of tribute bands, but I feel the motivation behind doing them is almost invariably sincere.
Have you ever seen the ABBA tribute band “Bjorn Again”? They are uncanny in recreating the sound and feeling of the genuine article
