Here we go again, BABBA will perform a bushfire relief show at Bulleen’s Veneto club.
Benny Andersson, aka Viewbank’s Michael Ingvarson said the country had reached a critical point in the bushfires.
“We’ve failed to do anything about climate change, this is a wake up call and we’ve got to take it by the balls,” Mr Ingvarson said.
“It’s just so shocking and frustrating.”
BABBA will perform for free at the Under the Stars event, hosted by Interactive Cinema, followed by a screening of Mamma Mia.
“We pride ourselves on doing a really great tribute to them,” Mr Ingvarson said.
As one of the founding members of BABBA back in 1994, he doesn't get bored of performing the classics.
“I love the crowds reactions, there's something about Australian audiences that embrace the daggy fun it,” Mr Ingvarson said.

The event will be held January 25, at the Veneto Club in Bulleen, with profits going to the CFA and Red Cross Australia to provide bushfire relief.
They hope to raise $30,000.
“We want people to come and be a part of it and get thinking about climate change,” he said.
BABBA celebrated their 25 year anniversary last year and the Benny impersonator said it takes up the majority of his time.
“It’s still so fun getting dressed up and doing the accents on stage,”
