I feel the pressure buildin' up

Very often on Tacky Music Mondays I feature some cheap-as-chips girly group or other, from Holland, Italy or Spain.

Lest we forget, we in the British Isles produced our own cheesy version in the 1980s, as a close-harmony singing group of Irish colleens (brought up in Blackpool) transformed themselves from "The Nolan Sisters" into the much more trendy Nolans and had a string of hits. I don't remember this one (thankfully), however...

Have a good week, dear reader.

  2. "That poor woman - Mrs Nolan, I suppose - she must've been giving birth for years before she got any decent harmonies going." Victiria Wood.

    I remember when my sister brought shame to the Flange escutcheon by ordering The Nolans Greatest hits, Status Quo was another I remember via one of those mail order music and book clubs, she was seduced by the introductory offer, she redeemed herself by giving them a false name and never paid them a penny.

    1. Love the Victoria Wood quote!

      Your family memory reminded me of the occasion our late, dearly-departed friend Alistair was looking at the extensive CD collection here at Dolores Delargo Towers and exclaimed: "The Best Of Dorothy Squires?! The Essential Anita Harris?!

    3. As my sister said in reply to my post about Alistair, "He was a curmudgeonly old bugger, but he was our curmudgeonly old bugger." Jx
