The Nolans are in the mood for dancing again; but next year’s Ipswich gig is going to be their last reveals Coleen, Bernie, Linda and Maureen.

“To say I’m excited would be a massive understatement. We are bowing out after 50 years in showbiz - and they said it wouldn’t last,” said Linda.

“We had such an amazing, fun time on the last tour and I have a feeling this one is going to be even better. Tinged with a little sadness that this is our farewell tour but happy in the knowledge we’re going out with a bang.”

Originally from Dublin, the sisters grew up in Blackpool. The originators of girl power, they sold more than 25 million records worldwide.

“What an amazing ride it’s been. We’ve got so many surprises in store; a fabulous live band, some great film footage and all those big diva anthems that’ll get you cutting loose on the dance floor,” added Bernie.

Expect to hear I’m In The Mood For Dancing which topped charts around the world, as well as hits like Attention to Me, Gotta Pull Myself Together, Who’s Gonna Rock You and Don’t Make Waves.

“I can barely put into words how I feel about the fact this is going to be the very last time we’ll ever perform together again. The Nolans has been such a huge part of our lives. We’ve loved every minute together and can’t thank the public enough for still caring about us after all these years,” said Coleen.

All of the group have enjoyed successful solo careers.

Best-selling author Coleen has hosted Loose Women and This Morning for more than a decade as well as appearing on Dancing On Ice and being the last woman standing in the final of Celebrity Big Brother.

Maureen and Linda became leading ladies of the West End and continue to tour the country in hit musicals and plays, while Bernie is one of the nation’s favourite actresses appearing in Brookside and The Bill as well conquering the West End.

“I’m so excited. As well as all the songs you love we’ll also be getting emotional with ballads and getting wild again with our gorgeous male dancers who always seem to lose their tops. It means everything to us to get another chance to meet all you lovely people who have been so loyal to us for so long for one last time,” added Maureen.

The Nolans are at the Ipswich Regent on March 5. Tickets go on sale this Friday. For more entertainment news follow me on Twitter @WhatsonWayne
