Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is the Abbasession Duo and Trio able to sound authentic without a band?
A. We use high quality backing tracks that gives a full band sound and we have an excellent sound system and of course both of the girls are professional singers. Our guitarist is an outstanding musician and professional singer and the ladies love him.
Q.Why doesn’t the Abbasesion Band use a live drummer and bass player?
A: Abbasession use high quality pre recorded drums and bass which enables us to have the same dynamics and presence of a full band without the added costs of extra musicians.

Q. I really love Benny and Bjorn, how does the Abbasession Duo show work without them?
A. Most people love to hear the ladies sing but for those who do miss the guys, Abbasession offers a 4 piece band with Benny and Bjorn. Please specify at the time of booking if you would like 2, 3 or 4 piece as sometimes we are unable to arrange for the guys to join us closer to the date of your event.
Q. Do I need to have a big stage setup for Abbasession?
A. Abbasession can adapt to almost any situation and the stage can be big or small and the sound will still be fantastic. Sometimes we find we are without a stage and become a floor show and that is fine with us as the girls never stay the whole time on stage,they like to dance and sing with the crowd and turn it into an interactive show.

A. Abbasession generally plays a 1 x 45 minute set, a 1 hour set or 2 x 40 minute sets . Abbasession can also offer 2 x 40 minute sets + 1 x 40 minute covers set to extend your evening entertainment.
