The Nolans (billed as The Nolan Sisters from 1974 until early 1980) are an Anglo-Irish group of sisters from the Republic of Ireland and England, who performed as a pop vocal act. The group, best-known for their song "I'm In The Mood For Dancing", gained prominence as guest performers on numerous UK television shows. The majority of their charted singles and albums occurred in the early 1980s but they continued to be active until 2005 and were particularly successful in Japan. The sisters have pursued varying solo careers in acting, music and television presenting.
In June 2009 it was announced that the Nolan Sisters will be re-forming and touring in October and November 2009.
The Nolans re-formed on the 14th June 2009 with an apperance on GMTV. Coleen Nolan member of the girl-group and popular lunchtime programme Loose Women quoted "We've been approached before over the last four or five years but it has never felt like the right time and the right people being involved, and this time it was like let's just do it once more, I would like to go back to the times when I was really down, or like when my marriage was falling apart and you just think you are never going to come out of that depression. I'd like to go back and go you will."
She also stated: "We'll be going on tour October till November time, were just so over the moon and really, really excited to be going back on the road again after nearly 30 years and your never too old and that's what we want to do with this tour. We want to say you are never too old to do this or anything, it's just a real girl's night out and we'll be performing all our hit's and big classic diva song's so bring the kid's and the grandkid's too their love it."
