The show takes its name from Björn Ulvaeus, a member of ABBA, and is a pun on the phrase "born again". Björn Again was created in 1988 in Melbourne, Australia by Rod Stephen and John Tyrrell. After the first Björn Again show at a pub in the inner Melbourne suburb of Collingwood called The Tote Hotel on 6 May 1989 the show's popularity increased quickly, which first took the group Australia-wide and then overseas to international acclaim. Original members for the first six years of the band included Gavin Charles (Bjorn), Janette Stuart (Agnetha), Dorina Morelli (Frida) and Peter Ryan (Benny). John has been the manager since the band's inception, and in 2003 Rod was appointed manager of the UK-European region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rn_Again (2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 RAHSkeyte 7/29/2014 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 1779b7f5-1de1-4808-88f2-a03fccba11e5
