DAVID VAN DAY

David Van Day and Bazar formed a band named Dollar in 1978. The band recorded and toured from 1978 to 1983, then again from 1986 to 1988. They had several top ten hits in the UK, including “Love’s Gotta Hold on Me” and “Give Me Back My Heart”. He also had a brief solo career as a movie actor, appearing as a devious handyman in the 1983 horror anthology film Screamtime with Dora Bryan and Jean Anderson. After a final top ten hit “O L’amour” in 1988, Dollar split for a second time, bringing their recording career to an end.

In the early-mid 1990s, Van Day toured as Dollar with a succession of female singers. In the late 1990s he joined one incarnation of the pop group Bucks Fizz, with original Bucks Fizz member Mike Nolan. With both of these acts he recorded and released albums.
