The Dreams

Launched in a blaze of publicity in 1968, The Dreams made an immediate impact on the dancing and recording scene. They were managed by Jim Hand, one of the famous Hand twins, and they were soon appearing on television shows such as “Like Now” (RTE), “Zoom-In” (UTV) and “5-4-3-2-1” on German T.V.
