[Music] It Was 50 Years Ago Today At The Brighton Dome...

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

... that a little-known Swedish band comprising Agnetha Fältskog, Sven Ulvaeus, David Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with their catchy pop tune 'Waterloo'. Today of course the world knows them better as ASDA

It's a little known fact that the band also helped referee the 1923 Cup Final

I was on a school trip to the Royal Pavilion on the Friday.

We saw all the contestants doing a photo shoot on the green in front.

Can I claim to have seen ABBA before they were famous?

I was in the Black Horse opposite the Dome at the time all that was happening…. Bah ! .. I grew out of watching Eurovision when I was 12 years old and I have never liked ABBA.. All this nostalgia is boring..

My Dad ran Brighton Music Library, which was then in a smallish room in the Dome buildings, and they had to move out for the duration of the event. So, can I claim to be part of a family that helped ABBA win?

The Music Library then went over the road to what is now Cote Brassiere in Church Street. It had an old theatre upstairs which was quite odd.

Was in love with the blonde one…….. Benny his name was.

My father in law was a stage hand on the night. He’s a current STH.

It's the first one I remember watching all the way through. I've got tickets for Malmo this year so it feels like I've come full circle. My my!

Poor attempt really, it was funnier in my head

I saw that, too, standing gawping at them in their costumes. Hard to believe it was 50 years ago, though.

My Dad knew the cabbie who took them back to their hotel after the show.

Why couldn't the lazy bastards have walked I say?

Can you tell me a bit about Brighton Music Library, please?
