Mamma Mia! Did you (or your mother) know that ABBA were in East Kilbride in 1977 to buy some tartan? £15,000! They clearly thought it was worth the Money, Money, Money. If you want to know more about Senga’s lucky escape, read the article in EK Central Library’s Heritage Centre. #ThrowbackThursday
Photo of a local newspaper page from 24th February 1977 featuring an article and photo about ABBA visiting an East Kilbride clothing factory. Another headline says LUCKY ESCAPE FOR SENGA, but the following text isn't visible.
