Great news i think.
I know a lot will be meh or think it not a good idea, but there all skint due to having never been given the money they earnt.
So good on them i say, saw "Les McKeown Bay City Rollers" a while back and they were good. so this should be better.

A chap who played in 1 of my pubs regularly Clive Read, played with them on on a far east tour about 1994 so they or some of them have been playing as The Bay City Rollers.

Say what you like about the BCR, but the football scarf tied round your wrist at the time was heavily BCR-influenced, whether you realised it or not..

A tour to miss.

I can proudly say I have never owned a Bay City Rollers single or album.

A highlight from their era was when Johnny Walker on his lunchtime radio 1 show on the album chart always rang out of time when the BCR had a number one album, so that both he and his listeners weren't subject to their warblings.

Wasn't it their manager ? ???
Tam Paton? - almost...........
Paton was openly gay. In 1982, he was convicted of gross indecency with teenage boys, serving one year of a three-year prison sentence. He was arrested on child sexual abuse charges in January 2003, but was later cleared of all allegations.

Maybe that's why I didn't like music when I was a kid if these tw@ts were dominating the charts.

But just like now, it wasn't hard to find the good stuff.

The One Direction of their day, utterly without merit.

The main difference is that one direction have become obscenely rich as a result, the rollers were conned & robbed of the're money hence this reunion.
Band of recent years will never need to do a reunion for money reasons.

There is that. So we can be thankful for small mercies.

I'm with you on this. Time, methinks, to dust off my numerous Led Zep, Who, Free and Traffic albums to drown out those images of that Edinburgh boy band and their pre-pubescent, adoring fans. Rock on! :eek:
