The Beatles Story Museum, Liverpool, were honoured and excited to welcome ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus to their exhibition at The Albert Dock yesterday afternoon.
The Swedish musician and producer, best known for being a member of ABBA, was in Liverpool conducting a masterclass for 500 students at LIPA, a university-level performing arts school established by Mark Featherstone-Witty and Paul McCartney.
During his short visit to the city, Björn enjoyed a tour of LIPA, a bespoke tour of The Beatles Story Museum and a look-out at the famous River Mersey.
The musician shares similar roots with The Beatles, having started his career in a rock’n’roll skiffle group called the West Bay Singers and later the Hootenanny Singers, one of Sweden’s most popular groups of the Sixties.
Björn made sure to greet his fans and take photos with Beatles Story team members before continuing his UK trip and heading to London.
