Anne Nolan was born in Dublin, Ireland, to Tommy (26 September 1925–1998) and Maureen Nolan (15 December 1926 – 30 December 2007). She is the second of eight siblings and the oldest of the Nolan sisters, preceding Denise, Maureen, Linda, Bernie, and Coleen, respectively; she also has two brothers, Tommy and Brian. The family lived in Raheny, a suburb of Dublin, before moving to Blackpool, England, in 1962.
Anne, along with her sisters, was a part of the singing group the Nolans. The Nolans had a number one hit in 1979 with their song I'm in the Mood for Dancing. It charted at number two on the Irish music chart, and was number one on charts in Japan and South Africa. Anne left the group for a short period of time, between 1980 and 1982, with her sister Coleen stepping in for Anne. During Anne's two-year absence from the group, they won the 1981 Tokyo Music Festival with their song "Sexy Music".
Anne reunited with the Nolans as a five-piece (including Bernie, Coleen, Linda and Maureen) for a one-off performance of "I'm In the Mood for Dancing" for BBC One's All Time Greatest Party Songs, hosted by Tess Daly, which aired on 17 December 2005. They performed the song again on 9 August 2007 on Loose Women, but dismissed any immediate prospect of a full-scale reunion.[4] Anne has only missed out on one reunion, which took place in 2009. She returned yet again in 2020, when they reformed, and remained in the group until its disbandment in 2022.
