[1] Nolan was born in Dublin, Ireland, to Tommy (26 September 1925 – 1998) and Maureen Nolan (15 December 1926 – 30 December 2007), as the fourth of eight children, including sisters Anne, Denise, Linda, Bernie and Coleen, and brothers Tommy and Brian, respectively.
[1] The family lived in Raheny, a suburb of Dublin, before moving to Blackpool, England, in 1962.
[citation needed] The Nolans reunited as a five-piece (including Bernie, Coleen, Linda and Maureen) for a one-off performance of "I'm In the Mood for Dancing" for BBC One's All Time Greatest Party Songs, hosted by Tess Daly, which aired on 17 December 2005.
[2] They performed the song again on 9 August 2007 on Loose Women,[3] but dismissed any immediate prospect of a full-scale reunion.
In February 2020, it was announced that Maureen and the Nolans would appear in a new TV series for Quest Red, The Nolans Go Cruising,[5] a rival show to Channel 5's Cruising with Jane McDonald.
