The mid and late 1980's saw the act touring extensively. The UK government even secured an exchange with the Soviet Union's Bolshoi Ballet. The ballet company came to the UK - The Nolans went to Russia! Altogether 40 Arena Venue dates were completed and although the girls fell ill to food poisoning they enjoyed the experience. They played at huge venues in Soviet state
