Biography
Herreys are a Swedish pop group of three siblings: Per, Richard and Louis Herrey. The three won the 1984 contest in Luxembourg with “Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley” while living and working as singers in Cleveland, Ohio. Richard and Louis were both teenagers at the time.
A year later Herreys won the Sopot International Song Festival with “Sommarparty”. The group toured widely, playing more than 300 shows, and was Sweden’s best-selling pop group of the 1980s, without another hit on the scale of the first. The three reunited in 2002 to sing the winning song in the interval of a Melodifestivalen semi-final.
