Celebrating the 40th anniversary of ABBA’s Eurovision triumph, hit stage show Thank You for the Music is coming to town.
An all-new, Spandex and sequins spectacular is promised for 2014. The cast will take live music fans back to 1974, to the night when Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida arrived as pop music superstars by winning the Eurovision Song Contest with their self-composed song Waterloo.
They were that night’s glittering winners – ABBA literally lit up the Brighton Dome, sparkling in sequins and tottering about in silver 6in-heel platform boots. And that was just...

Torquay United came from behind to win 2-1 at St James Park at the expense of Exeter City in Sky Bet League 2.
A win for the Gulls means that their seemingly-inevitable relegation is prolonged for another week, while Exeter City still have work on to ensure that they will still be a Football League club next season.

Torquay need to win all three of their remaining games, including this derby match, to stand any chance of surviving in Sky Bet League 2 this season. And, even if they were to complete a miraculous effort to secure...

Award-winning opera director and producer Ellen Kent said: “People say never work with children or animals but I love to...
