Four Christchurch, New Zealand, mothers, who form the entertainment group The Starlets, had a number of gigs cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Despite living busy lives playing teacher and parent during lockdown, they made time for fun, creating a parody ABBA isolation video, highlighting the struggles and quirks of life in quarantine.
Starlet Georgia Heard, who came up with the idea, told the Herald they wanted to give people around the world a chance to have a laugh and share the idea that you can still have fun in lockdown.
"We were all at home, we've got all these costumes and miss performing so we decided to make a video. In the beginning we thought we'd make it for our family and friends for a laugh," she said.
Heard explained the video took about a week to make, with each member of the Starlets filming their parts using just an iPhone before sending it back for her and their sound engineer Alex Harmer to create.
