The Dooleys

I read somewhere The Dooleys were originally from Essex but relocated to Worsley near Manchester because earlier in their career they found there were more suitable live venues in the North. This was after Manchester born bass player Bob Walsh suggested they should play the pubs & clubs in the North.

Re: The Dooleys
My Dad was friends with The Dooleys in the late 70's when they lived in Manchester, as he was a well known cabaret pop artist in the nightclub scene back then. He took me and the family to meet them just as they were launching the single "Think I'm Gonna Fall In Love With You". They were really nice people, Jim Dooley was quite a shy person. Outside of the UK, they had a big hit in Australia with "Wanted" and "Chosen Few".

Re: The Dooleys
The Dooleys appeared on at least two occasions on the BBC's Seaside Special in the late 70s. Once, they were on the same show as pop duo Dollar. Anyone remember them? I suppose it was, and still is, fashionable and trendy to decry groups like the Nolans, Dooleys, Dollar etc for being not at all edgy, but to be honest I would pick looking at pretty girls singing and dancing all day over some so-called edgy sourpuss.

Re: The Dooleys
Was listening to BBC Radio Newcastle online yesterday afternoon and Simon Logan played "Love of My Life" as part of his Guess the Year thing he does - a huge surprise!
