Hit show heads for Dundee

THE world’s longest-running Abba concert show is coming to Dundee to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Swedish supergroup’s biggest-selling hit, Dancing Queen.

The song was a millionselling, number one hit in 13 countries and it forms the climax to the international hit stage show Thank You for the Music.

Producer Michael Taylor said the show has been delighting live music fans for longer than Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and AnniFrid did during the ’70s and ’80s.

He said: “Combining Lycra-tight harmonies with superb musicianship, Thank You for the Music has outlasted Abba in their prime.

“Dancing Queen represents the pinnacle of the group’s career, and we have produced a brand new show rocking the sound of ‘the right music’ for 2017.”

Thank You for the Music also features show stealers The Magic of the Bee Gees.The trio, backed by a live band, perform original Bee Gees’ hits like Staying Alive and Night Fever.

Ewan Roberts, 30, of the Perth Road area, got into his car at Mid Wynd car park near Kwik Fit to find a large hole in his dashboard where his stereo used to be.

Upon further inspection he found that two subwoofers in the boot had also been taken from his grey Hyundai i10.

Police have visited the scene to look for fingerprints and they’ve also taken DNA swabs.

Officers believe the car was left unlocked by mistake but Ewan, an application engineer for a software company, said he can’t be sure.

He added: “I thought I had locked it, but the police couldn’t find any evidence of forced entry.

“The problem is that I can’t prove anything because I walked up to the car, pressed unlock and I got in to find there’s a big hole in the dashboard where the stereo was.

“I couldn’t say whether it was locked or not.”

It means Ewan won’t be able to make a claim to his insurers and he believes it has left him out of pocket by about £500.

A Fli subwoofer, Vibe subwoofer, Eonon stereo and Hyundai stereo were stolen.

A pair of sunglasses and a set of headphones in the glove box were also taken.

Ewan says police don’t believe there are any public CCTV cameras in the area, so he has asked for anyone with information to get in touch with the force.

Meanwhile, he is keeping a close eye on classified websites such as Gumtree to check for anyone selling his sound system.

A DUNDEE man has hit out at the “total scum” who stole £500-worth of audio equipment from his car.
