David Van Day

about

David Van Day started his career in showbiz at the grand old age of ten with various acting parts on stage and screen including the musical Oliver, TV commercials for Coca-Cola, and Clarks shoes and the cult horror movie Do You Believe in Fairies, which was recently re-released. David won a scholarship to Italia Conti in his teens where he initially took a greater interest in acting rather than singing. His first taste of success in the music industry was in the pop group Guys 'n' Dolls. They enjoyed significant chart success all over the UK and Europe. During his time in the band, David met singer Thereza Bazar who he left the band with to form duo Dollar in 1978. Dollar became one of the most successful duos in pop music history. In the 2001 show - Best Duets of all Time for Channel 4 - Dollar were placed number five in this rundown, ahead of Ike & Tina Turner and Donny & Marie Osmond. They had countless hits on the UK (and European) charts during the late seventies and early eighties, including Shooting Star, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Hand Held In Black And White, Mirror Mirror, Give Me Back My Heart, Videotheque and O L'Amour (which was their last Top 10 hit in 1988). Since Dollar's spilt in 1988 they have had various reunions including the TV show Reborn In The USA in 2002, the eighties revival tour Hear & Now and in 2002 - a tribute concert to producer Trevor Horn at Wembey Arena in 2004. Their latest reunion was earlier on this year for Living TV’s new show Pop Goes T
