Agnetha on January 7, 2007, leaving a party after the last performance of "Mamma Mia!" in Stockholm.
Back in the late 70s I became a fan of the pop group ABBA. But it wasn't until 1983 that I became a fan of Agnetha Fältskog as a solo artist. I was a teenager and began collecting pictures and articles from magazines and newspapers. Throughout the years I've managed to collect more than two scrapbooks worth of material.
The main reason why I wanted to create this website was to share the material I have with other fans. I have a lot of photos from magazines and newspapers. But I also wanted fans around the world to get to know a little bit more about Agnetha as a person. During her days in ABBA, fans outside Sweden didn't hear her talk very much. It was mainly Björn and Benny who did the talking. So that's why I've translated Swedish interviews with Agnetha and I will continue uploading them as long as I have more to translate.
In the past few months, through my friend Jeffrey de Hart, I've received some older articles supplied by other fans, so now you'll be able to read more about Agnetha's early career. I am very grateful and proud to be able to share those articles/interviews as well!
Finally, I hope you'll enjoy my website!

PS. Swedish newspaper/tabloid Expressen published the above picture of Agnetha with an acquaintance, Bertil Nordström (the King of Sweden's closest friend), taken at Club Plaza in Stockholm, Sweden in the evening of December 8, 2005. Agnetha went there with three girlfriends. Now I'd like to ask all those tabloids who keep writing that Agnetha is isolated and never goes out:
Does the woman above seem miserable and look like a recluse?
No, I didn't think so!
New Agnetha collection released
Sony BMG Music Entertainment Sweden has released a new 2 CD-collection of Agnetha's favorite songs throughout her career (on October 8, 2008). It's a nice collection and Agnetha even wrote a foreword in the CD-booklet. As far as I know the CD has only been released in Sweden but if you live outside Sweden, you can order it from a Swedish website that sell CDs. The CD has been released in a jewel case and a digi-pack.
To order the CD, go to http://english.megastore.se and then do a search for "Agnetha Fältskog" and you'll see it.
