A CARETAKER is looking for a pair of dancing queens to fulfil a long held ambition to create a personal tribute to the seventies pop group Abba.

Peter Berry-Paxton, 41, of Mote Road, Maidstone, is a life long fan and wants to put together a video to "thank them for the music".

Mr Berry-Paxton looks after a 12 storey block of flats for the Maidstone Housing Trust but in his spare time is a keen video maker.

His last major project four years ago was a homage to the back catalogue of eighties chart toppers Ultravox. It was presented in person to lead singer Midge Ure.

The search for wannabe Agnetha and Anni-Frids should have been easy with his wife and sister willing to step up to the mic but sadly these plans met their Waterloo.

Mr Berry-Paxton said: "My sister and wife are really into Abba but when my sister had an accident last autumn she had to pull out of the act.

"My wife is not prepared to do it so it means I need to fill the roles played by the girls for the video which will feature 21 of their greatest hits."

While the singers will be expected to have a good grasp of late seventies disco dancing and fashion they will only be expected to mime not sing.

He said: "The girls have got to be willing to do rehearsals and have a Abba background. When we started the Ultravox thing it took for ever getting the dance moves right. I don't want that to happen this time."

The singers will also be expected to help create their own glitzy stage back drop.

He said: "I hope to get started as soon as possible but it will probably take about six months to complete with all the organisation that needs to be done.

"It is only going to be seen by the band as a personal way of saying thank you for the music but who knows where it might lead."
