Tonight on TV: Nick, Simon and Kees dive into the world of ABBA
Daniel Schalk wrote the following in Dutch but ESC Covers used google translate to bring it in English.
Nick & Simon dive into the world of Eurovision winner ABBA together with good friend Kees Tol. For the TV show Take A Chance On Me, the trio travels to places that have been important for the band members Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid to discover the history of ABBA.
During the trip through Sweden Nick, Simon and Kees learn more about the band, the music and the zeitgeist in which ABBA could grow into one of the most successful bands in the world. They visit the Metronome Studios, where most of the ABBA hits were recorded, and meet friends of the band members.
A lot of music is also made. Various ABBA songs are given a Nick & Simon jacket. In the last episode, the Volendam duo has a special music session with former musicians from ABBA, but the big question is whether they will succeed in getting Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid to attend.
Nick, Simon & Kees: Take A Chance On Me can be seen on NPO 1 from tonight at 8:30 PM.
I have several CD’s by Nick & Simon. They also toured in South Africa one year and performed with local artists here.
There seems to be a lot of interesting TV programs Eurovision related on the horizon in the follows 3 weeks.
