With only being back in the U K and performing on home grounds, it was only a matter of weeks till they were packing their suitcases for a weeks tour of Southern Ireland. The tour covered the length and breadth of the country, from Dublin to Macroom, enjoying a warm Irish welcome from the audiences, and the intimate theatre atmospheres.

The boys got a chance to sample of Irelands' finest draught Guiness which they say is compulsory when over there.

They returned to Southern Ireland in August 2004, performing at various venues. They travelled up to Northern Irelamd during this tour, for an outdoor festival. Unfortunately, the heavens opened at the beginning, but the crowd stayed in good spirits and the sun duly shone through.

Leaving the Festival, there was time for some autographs before the band packed off for a quick crossing to Stranraer.
As Abba Forever dorve onto the feryy at Anflesea for their third visit to Ireland, it came as a surprise that what first seemed a smooth crossing became quite rough. One of the girls wasn t too well to start with and this only encouraged her to be rather poorly!!
On the first night it was sold out in Co.Waterford with a great atmosphere. A wonderful start to the trip. Co.Cork was also jam packed and Abba Forever once again brought the house down.
The people were very friendly as the band stayed chatting with the locals into the early hours. The village of Rossmore was very remote with lovely scenery and the accomodation was quaint and off the beaten track.
   
They retured again to Virginia, Co.Cavan which they played back in 2003. It attracted another full house with possible talk of a three night run next time. This was the last gig in another tour which took in the beautiful sights and sounds of Southern Ireland.
