DOLLAR PERFORM AT WEMBLEY ARENA WITH TREVOR HORN |

There's a nice paragraph in the programme
which reads: |

TREVOR HORN CD ON SALE AT CONCERT |
14th November 2004 |
The 'Produced By Trevor Horn' compilation CD was available to buy at the concert at Wembley Arena over a week before it's released in the shops. The sound quality of both 'Mirror Mirror & 'Give Me Back My Heart' is amazing. Hopefully this will lead to more Dollar tracks from Warners coming out on CD in the future. |

DAVID REMAKES 'O L'AMOUR' VIDEO FOR 'A QUESTION OF SPORT' QUIZ SHOW |
17th August 2003 |
|
David has re-made part of the 'O L'Amour' video for the quiz show 'A Question Of Sport' which was shown this week on BBC1. The video clip was used in the section of the programme where the panelists have to guess the identity of a mistry sports personality. David played himself in the video while the mystery guest (athlete Sally Gunnel) played Thereza's part. The clip (which stayed very close to the original) was filmed in April this year in Brighton. |

FIRST NEW DOLLAR RECORDING IN OVER 14 YEARS RELEASED TODAY |
21st April 2003 |
The 'Reborn In The USA' compilation CD is released in the UK today by Universal Music TV (catalogue no: 038 284-2). It features the track 'Something Stupid' which Thereza & David recorded earlier on this year especially for the CD. As previously reported two new tracks were recorded but for some unknown reason only one has been included, the other track 'How Deep Is Your Love' remains unreleased. This is the first new Dollar recording to be released since the single 'It's Natures Way (No Problem) back in 1988. Listening to this new track you wouldn't think it's been over 14 years since Thereza & David last recorded together. The Dollar magic is still very much there, let's hope there's more of this to come in the future. |

ONLY ONE DOLLAR TRACK INCLUDED ON THE 'REBORN IN THE USA' CD |
3rd April 2003 |
The 'Reborn In The USA' compilation CD which is released on 21st April will only include the one Dollar track 'Something Stupid'. No reason has yet been given by Granada as to why Dollar, Michelle Gayle & Sonia have only got one track each on the CD. Wether 'How Deep Is Your Love' will ever be released is up to Granada. |

TV APPEARANCES PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEK |
16th March 2003 |
Thereza & David are now back in the UK and getting ready for a round of press & TV interviews. After the press conference you'll be able to catch Dollar on 'This Morning' on ITV1 on Tuesday at 10.30pm, plus another appearance on RI:SE (on Channel 4) possibly Thursday or Friday morning. These dates are not set in stone and could possible change, sorry I can't be more specific. Thereza will fly back home to Australia at the end of this week, but will return to the UK at the end of April to appear in the final programme of 'Reborn In The USA' in London. |

DOLLAR PERFORM LIVE ON 'HEAR & NOW' TOUR |
14th December 2002 |
The 'Hear & Now Christmas Party 2002' Tour is now well under way here in the UK, it's truly fantastic to see Thereza & David performing together after all this time (14 years). They both seemed to be having a great time on stage last night at the Sheffield Arena. Dollar were placed forth on the bill last night and came onstage to great applause and cheering from the audience. They were on stage for just over 30 minutes and did all the Trevor Horn tracks plus 'Shooting Star', 'Who Were You With In The Moonlight, 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and finished with 'O L'Amour'. |
|
Thereza & David have also been doing some TV & radio appearances in the UK. They have been interviewed on the following programmes: |

David attended the press conference held at the end of April for the 'Hear & Now Christmas Party 2002'. Most of the acts due to appear were present except for Thereza and Kim Wilde. Above are three pictures from the press conference taken from the Liquid News programme on BBC Choice, plus the front and back of the promotional flyer for the tour. The Dollar paragraph on the flyer reads as follows: |

Reforming especially for the tour, this will be the first time since their hit 'O L'Amour' in 1987 that David Van Day & Thereza Bazar will have performed together. Dollar had a string of hits starting in 1978 with 'Shooting Stars'. The duo were never out of the charts for the next ten years with such tracks as 'Mirror Mirror', 'Hand Held In Black & White', Give Me Back My Heart', 'Videotheque', 'Love's Gotta Hold On Me' & 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand'. |

DOLLAR TO RE-FORM - LIVE DATES ANNOUNCED FOR THE UK |

At last we get the news we have all been waiting for, David and Thereza are to re-form Dollar 14 years after they split up. They will appear as part of the 'Hear & Now Christmas Party 2002' tour in the UK during December. Other acts confirmed for the tour are Kim Wilde, Five Star, The Human League, Visage, The Belle Stars and Claire Grogan (Altered Images). Dollar will be on stage for about 30 minutes. To enable them to perform as many hits as possible the show may include a medley, but nothing is definite at this stage. Thereza will stay in the UK over Christmas and return to Australia in early January 2003. Tour dates and box office numbers are listed below. |

NEW DOLLAR CD WILL NOT INCLUDE UNRELEASED TRACKS |
5th February 2002 |
The Latest Dollar compilation to be released next week 'Shooting Stars - The Dollar Collection' will now NOT include the two unreleased Dollar tracks 'Movies I Dream' & 'It Don't Matter' as previously stated. The tracks were intended to be included on the CD but tracking the recordings down proved more difficult than expected. They may (or may not) turn up at a later date on a future CD release. Full details and correct track listing can be found on the Album Discography page. |

PLANS FOR WEA 'BEST OF' CD SCRAPPED |
31st March 2001 |
Unfortunately Warner Music UK (WEA records) have decided not to release a 'Best Of' Dollar CD. The head of the back catalogue department at Warner had this to say, "I'm afraid there are no plans for a Dollar 'Best Of' at this point. The Dollar catalogue and the rights thereto are a very tangled plot that will take a long time to untangle". I've been in touch with David regarding this matter and he's still under the impression that these tracks will come out on CD one day. As far as he knows Trevor Horn has no control over the rights to any of their tracks recorded for WEA records, so what exactly is the problem here? |

DOLLAR TO FEATURE IN TV PROGRAMME |
11th December 2000 |
Dollar will be featured on the 'Top Ten Duets' programme to be shown on Channel 4 in the UK on Saturday 17th February 2001. The good news is that both David and Thereza have been interviewed for the show. Bruce Woolley (co-writer of the tracks 'Mirror Mirror' and 'Hand Held In Black And White') will also be interviewed. Unfortunately Trevor Horn has refused to participate in the programme. I'll add more details here when I receive them. |

DOLLAR MEGAMIX TO BE RELEASED |
28th November 2000 |
Due to the success of David's TV commercial
for virginmoney.com there is a Dollar megamix being released on the 11th
December 2000 on Onion records. The single is called 'A FistFul Of Dollar'
by HotDog Vs David Van Day and features the three tracks from the commercial
: |

Thereza and David performed live at Wembley
Arena last Thursday (11th November) for the second time in just under two
years. They performed as part of the 'Produced By Trevor Horn' concert in
aid of The Prince's Trust. They gave a brilliant performance of both 'Mirror
Mirror' and 'Give Me Back My Heart' with Trevor Horn on Bass and backing
vocals. Dollar came on stage straight after The Buggles who performed 'Video
Killed The Radio Star' & 'Living In The Plastic Age'. Also on stage was
Bruce Woolley (Trevor Horn's co-writer on two Dollar tracks) and Anne Dudley
who played keyboards and synthesizers on all four Trevor Horn tracks. The
concert was filmed for a DVD release and will hopefully be broadcast on TV.
It was a truly magical evening.
Trevor Horn was interviewed recently by Classic
Gold DJ Bill Overton for BBC 6 Music. The interview will be used on news
programmes on the run-up to the 'Produced By Trevor Horn' concert at Wembley
Arena in November.
Dollar were
featured in the programme 'The Pop Years' shown on Sky One in the UK this
week and repeated on Sky One Mix the following day. The programme documented
the year 1981 and featured just over four minutes of Dollar, including an
interview with Thereza & David recorded earlier on this year. Martin
Fry from ABC was also interviewed on the programme, and it was interesting
to hear his views on 'Mirror Mirror' which he described as a "widescreen
record".
Dollar performed the track
'Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)' on yesterdays final show in the 'Reborn
In The USA' series live from London. Thereza & David didn't get the chance
to perform the track in Philadelphia and Granada have done the only decent
thing and let them perform again on the final programme. This time Dollar
had the full orchestra to back them up rather than the backing tracks that
were used for the shows in America. Dollar were the only other artists from
the programme other than the two finalists to perform with the full orchestra,
and I think you'll agree it was well worth the wait. They looked and sounded
amazing, this performance was classic Dollar at their best. After their
performance David mentioned to Davina that they are hoping to do some dates
at the end of the year and have some more TV work lined up.
Dollar have withdrawn from the 'Reborn In
The USA' arena tour planned for October. It wouldn't have been fair for Dollar
fans to pay out £30.00 plus to see them perform only two or three songs.
Dollar are now scheduling other dates to give them at least one hour to perform
on stage. This announcement may well put the whole 'Reborn In The USA' tour
in jeopardy, as a large majority of the audience would have been coming solely
to see Dollar perform.
Sorry to have to be the
bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid to say Dollar have lost the phone vote
with Sonia on 'Reborn In The USA'. Thereza & David are both flying back
to the UK on Sunday for major press & TV interviews next week. There
will also be a press conference on Monday. I spoke to David this afternoon
and he's in very good spirits, he had this to say. "We've had an interesting
two weeks, we're both happy to be coming home to speak to the UK press regarding
the situation, we would like to set the record straight".
Dollar have been put to
the UK vote in the first week of 'Reborn In The USA'. They are up against
Sonia for a place in the 2nd show in Philadelphia next Saturday. Thereza
& David gave a fantastic performance in the show singing 'They Can't
Take That Away From Me', it's hard to believe they were voted one of the
last two.
Dollar were featured in the TV programme 'It
Takes Two: The Story Of The Pop Duo' shown on Sunday 5th May on BBC One.
The programme which was originally going to be a series focused on famous
pop duos throughout the years from The Everly Brothers to the Chemical Brothers.
Dollar's section in the programme lasted just under five minutes and featured
another interview with Thereza. Surprisingly the programme also featured
a (very) short interview with 
The latest in the Top Ten
series on Channel 4 in the UK finally showed the Top Ten Duets programme
featuring Dollar. Both Thereza and David were interviewed on the show along
with Trevor Horn's co-writer
