Tommy and Maureen Nolan, who had both worked as singers in Ireland, moved their family from Dublin to Blackpool in 1962, and launched a family singing group, The Singing Nolans, in 1963. The original lineup comprised the parents, sons Tommy and Brian, and daughters Anne (born November 12, 1950), Denise (born April 9, 1952), Maureen (born June 14, 1954), Linda (born February 23, 1959) and Bernadette (born October 17, 1960).In 1974 the five daughters began performing as The Nolan Sisters. They released one uncharted single on EMI in 1974 and several more on Target Records between 1975 and 1977. After signing with CBS subsidiary Epic Records in 1979, the group enjoyed their greatest period of commercial success. At the end of 1979, the group released the disco-flavoured single 'I'm in the mood for dancing', which became their best-known tune and biggest hit. It reached number 3 in the UK, number 2 in Ireland and the Netherlands and number 1 in Japan.
