The Woolpackers

The Woolpackers were an English country rock trio of the 1990s, consisting of Steve Halliwell, Billy Hartman and Alun Lewis, all three of whom were stars of the ITV-produced soap opera Emmerdale, in an attempt to cash in on the popularity of line dancing at the time.

Despite numerous criticisms of their style, the group achieved a hit single with Hillbilly Rock Hillbilly Roll in November 1996, reaching number 5 in the UK Singles chart. The parent album Emmer Dance reached number 26 in the UK a few weeks later. A year later, the single Line Dance Party hit number 25 and their second album The Greatest Line Dancing Party reached No. 48 in the UK.
