Attention to me - The Nolans

Both groups changed their names at one point in their career : Massive Attack changed to Massive during the Gulf War and the Nolan Sisters changed their name and fortunes by adopting the Nolans as their new moniker.

Attention To Me - The Nolans
Mary Ann - Black Lace

In 1979, The Nolans had a failed UK Eurovision entry entitled "Harry, My Honolulu lover". Great song though I'm sure that was, it was the aforementioned Black Lace who ended up representing the country, finishing 7th with Mary Ann.
