Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is the Abbasession Duo able to sound authentic without a band?
A. We use high quality backing tracks that gives a full band sound and we have an excellent sound system and of course both of the girls are professional singers.
Q.Why doesn’t the Abbasesion Band use a live drummer and bass player?
A: Abbasession use high quality pre recorded drums and bass which enables us to have the same dynamics and presence of a full band without the added costs of extra musicians. Abbasession also has the versatility to be able to set up a show in small or large spaces, allowing greater flexibility for your special event.
Q. I would like to have Abbasession play at my wedding. Do you play weddings?
A. Yes we do, in fact we play almost any type of event from birthday parties to Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s to senior citizens to Christmas parties and even children’s parties and we would love to be a part of your special day.
Please note that children’s parties are a 30 minute set max www.ringringchildrensentertainment.com
Q. I really love Benny and Bjorn, how does the Abbasession Duo show work without them?
A. Most people love to hear the ladies sing but for those who do miss the guys, Abbasession offers a 4 piece band with Benny and Bjorn. Please specify at the time of booking if you would like 2 or 4 piece as sometimes we are unable to arrange for the guys to join us closer to the date of your event.
Q. Do I need to have a big stage setup for Abbasession?
A. Abbasession can adapt to almost any situation and the stage can be big or small and the sound will still be fantastic. Sometimes we find we are without a stage and become a floor show and that is fine with us as the girls never stay the whole time on stage,they like to dance and sing with the crowd and turn it into an interactive show.
Q. How long does Abbasession play for?
A. Abbasession generally plays a 1 x 45 minute set, a 1 hour set or 2 x 40 minute sets but special requests can be accommodated at the time of booking. On occasion the 1 hour set can be broken up into 2 x 30 minute sets if requested at the time of the booking.This applies to both the 2 piece duo and 4 piece band.
Q. Which is better the Abbasession Duo or 4 piece band?
A. Both are fantastic and every member is a professional and of course you still get the full sound system but it ultimately depends on your needs for your event, which may include budget,space and time of the event.
Q. I’ve noticed a lot of bands seem to overdo the Swedish accent and it makes the songs sound odd,does Abbasession do this?
A. No. We talk in Australian accents and try to sing the songs as close to the original as possible.
Q. I really love Abba but my partner loves rock music,are Abbasession able to play a couple of rock songs ?
A. We prefer the Abbasession show as Abba only but we can offer 1 set of Abba and 1 set of disco/pop/classic rock .
Q. I’m having trouble deciding between live music and a DJ, can you supply both?
A. Whilst we cannot supply a DJ, we can play break music before a show as well as in between sets (if applicable) and for a short time after the show is finished. Our sound engineer can also stay on longer and play your own playlist through our system for an extra fee if required.

Abbasession are happy to help source airfares and equipment for you.

New Years Eve is also charged at a 50% deposit. Please be aware that the date is NOT secure until the depoist has been received and all quotes are valid for 7 days.
Q. Why should I book direct rather than through an agency?
A. Booking the act directly means that you automatically save $$$ as most agencies add a minimum cost of 15% for commission and some add up to 30% to our quoted price. When you book directly with Abbasession, you have the advantage of having a personalised service so that we can work together to ensure that your event runs as smoothly as possible in regards to the entertainment. Please note that once you have made an enquiry through an agency and they have contacted us,we will be unable to deal with you directly and you are required to continue the booking process with them. Confirmed bookings are issued with detailed confirmation of the show(s) and contracts similar to what you would receive from a booking agent are available by request.
