The Nolan Sisters with I'm in the Mood for Dancing from Top of the Pops, 24 January 1980. I've posted this song before but Bernie (who died 4 July 2013) does a better spin at the start in this one. I thought she was going to fall over. This version is also performed live with backing from Johnny Pearson and the Top of the Pops Orchestra. Those were the days.
The Nolan Sisters (just before they changed name to The Nolans) at this point were Bernie, Linda, Maureen and Anne.
If you're from Northern Ireland the answer is no, Stephen is not a relation.
The Buggles are at the start of the clip and the girls are introduced by Mike Read who was a Radio 1 DJ at the time.
