The Nolans
Irish pop group
"Nolan Sisters" redirects here. For the album, see Nolan Sisters (album).
The Nolans were an Anglo-Irish girl group who formed in Blackpool in 1974 as the Nolan Sisters, before changing their name in 1980. From 1979 to 1982, the group had a run of hits, including "I'm in the Mood for Dancing", "Gotta Pull Myself Together", "Who's Gonna Rock You", "Attention to Me" and "Chemistry". They are one of the world's biggest selling girl groups. They were particularly successful in Japan, becoming the first European act to win the Tokyo Music Festival with "Sexy Music" in 1981, and won a Japan Record Award (Tokubetsu Kikaku Shō) in 1991.
The group disbanded in 2005, re-forming in 2009 with only 4 of the original members. A "farewell tour" was planned for 2013 but was cancelled following the death of one member. A reality television show with the group was later launched, but no further albums or tours were announced, and a second member died in 2025.

New Beginnings by Anne Nolan (hardback)
Description
In this, her second autobiographical book after her best selling Anne’s Song, Anne Nolan continues to entertain her readers in the true Nolan way: Lots of pizzazz, huge entertainment and a privileged glimpse into the family lives, fun times, and trials of Anne and her sisters.
Anne is a natural entertainer; so too is she a gifted and effortless writer. It feels like we are sitting across from Anne in the living room, listening to her tell her life story. It is this accessibility and her honesty that make this book so enchanting.
Although not without its sad moments and trying times, New Beginnings is ultimately a tale of a special person, Anne, who comes from the irrepressible Nolan clan with all their artistic gifts and huge personalities. She keeps the show going in true showbiz style.
New Beginnings showcases how family and family loyalty and above all, love, give shape and meaning to our lives. Recommended reading for al
