MYSTERY surrounds an appearance announced for four of The Nolans at Newcastle City Hall after venue boss Peter Brennan confirmed today that an original booking had fallen through.

"We've had fans phoning up and asking why we're not getting Bernie, Coleen, Linda and Maureen, but all I can say is that the first booking fell through because of Coleen's TV appearances on Loose Women. There are gaps in October and November for them and I'm still hoping to arrange something in the next week," Mr Brennan said.

Tickets have already sold out at the 14 venues already announced for the first appearance of the well-known singing sisters in 25 years.
