PARTY time at Manchester’s Apollo Theatre as The newly reformed Nolans performed a faultless set.

With an enthusiastic audience containing a fair smattering of celebrities such as Beverly Callard (Corrie’s Liz McDonald), Gaynor Faye and Kerry Katona, the four sisters delivered – and then some.

They performed most of their new album that contains their hits and some disco and diva anthems.

‘Holding Out For A Hero’ started us off and gave the crowd their first view of the all-male dance troupe (well it was billed as The Ultimate Girl’s Night Out).

‘It’s Raining Men’ came next – and the hit songs continued.

The girls had a few costume changes, and by the end they were in the figure-hugging lycra. The first change came after the sixth song; one of the highlights of the show too, the Coleen-led ‘Eternal Flame’.

Halfway through, each sister had a solo spot, Coleen first, whose ‘Loose Women’ colleague Denise Welch was also in attendance.

Then Maureen did a cracking version of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Valerie’, Linda sand ‘Mercy’ with emotion and Bernie rocked the joint being every inch a rock-chick.

The girls have certainly improved their stagecraft over the years and they are now seasoned pros; but not so high and mighty as to refuse a young fan a photo. They even invited her onstage to have the picture taken – a gesture that went down well with the audience.

The excellent party night ended with a rousing version of ‘I Will Survive’ and everyone was on their feet, dancing and singing to ‘I’m In The Mood For Dancing’.

The show had everything: glitz, glamour, fun, and four gorgeous female singers called Nolan.

What more could you ask for?
