In today's pop era, where chart acts come and go in the blink of an eye, The Dooleys success story is particularly potent. The band, one of the most successful pop acts in British music history, boasts a rich legacy. Fans throughout the world are now celebrating with the news that the magic is returning. 'The Dooley Brothers’ have spent the last year recording and perfecting a new album of remarkable power; capturing the melodic genius that first defined them, whilst honing a contemporary sound for today's audience. In total The Dooleys enjoyed a staggering 83 weeks in the UK Singles Chart. The group were the first western pop act to be allowed to perform behind the Iron Curtain. During that 1975 tour they actually recorded a live album at the Rossia Hall in Moscow. This album sold over 2,000,000 copies. They had an incredible ten UK chart entries between 1977 and 1981. The Guinness Book of Records pays homage to them as the largest UK family act to ever enjoy UK chart success. The key driving force behind the band, Jim Dooley, returned to the studio with his brothers in 2006. The result is an album of sumptuous quality. Upbeat brilliance like ‘Everything Before But Is Bullshh!' sits alongside modern classics like the ballad 'I Don't Do Promises'. The huge international support the original band enjoyed has stirred; hungry to hear new material for the first time in many years. Jim reveals the desire to perform is stronger than ever “We are so proud of this new album and we want as many people as possible to enjoy it, to see what we have to offer. We have always enjoyed massive public support and we are looking forward to attacking the charts again. It is exciting to be back where we belong; making music.” National radio and press have greeted the Dooley Brothers with open arms, for hungry fans the wait is nearly over. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Dooley+Brothers">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
