Internationally-acclaimed ABBA tribute act Björn Again will headline a show at Saffron Walden's Audley End House and Gardens this summer.

Tickets are on sale for the disco and soul night on Friday, August 4, which forms part of the Heritage Live outdoor concert series.

Special guests at the event include The Real Thing and Boney M, as well as Saffron Walden's own Miss Disco.

Created by Australian musician and manager Rod Stephen, Björn Again has gained mass appeal since their inception in 1988.

The group has performed 5,500 times in 75 countries, and even gained plaudits from ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog, who said: "It was a great show. I loved the choreography, it was very true to life..."

The Real Thing, formed in 1972, are known for their hits 'To Me You Are Everything', 'Can't Get By Without You', and 'Can You Feel the Force' as well as their ground-breaking song 'Children of the Ghetto'.

Since their beginnings in west Germany in 1976, Boney M have sold more than 150 million records worldwide with disco hits including 'Daddy Cool', 'Brown Girl in the Ring' and 'Rasputin'.
