Genre:Pop
I cant help but almost snicker here, but im trying so hard not to.
If there is one good thing about this "Def 1000" is that you will find all your One Hit Wonders here, Rolling Stone might have forgotten them but i have not.
Now this next blurb will sorta give you an indication of Nolans music and who they are, so um *snort chuckle* erm enjoy!
"The Nolans were the first European act to win the Grand Prize at the prestigious Tokyo Music Festival in 1981, the same year Linda and Colleen guested with the Young and Moody Band on their hit ‘Don’t Do That’. Linda married Harmony Grass drummer Brian Hudson and retired from the group in 1982, being replaced by a rejoining Anne. The senior sibling’s return was celebrated with the release of ‘Altogether’, a Greatest Hits collection that fared well in the Christmas charts. Colleen (who was married for 13 years to actor Shane Ritchie), Bernadette and Denise have all recorded solo singles, while Linda comperes the cabaret on Blackpool’s Central Pier each summer. But it’s as the family group that they will always be known – and inspire devotion in fans like Russell Grainger. The civil servant from Poole in Dorset was a green-haired punk when dragged against his will to see the girls in 1978, but admits that “by the end of the evening I was dancing and cheering”. By 1993, when he married, he’d seen them nearly 500 times, and even took his long-suffering bride to a Nolans concert on their wedding night. He knows you can trust the Nolans to put you in the mood for dancing – and romancing!
Poor fella huh?
