Bay City Rollers in Cardiff tonight

Is anyone off here going ?

I can't wait, it's way before my time but I grew up listening to them on my Father's record player.

your mothers records though?

They were big when I was a teenager and thought you had to be gay to follow them.

However their issues they had with their manager makes interesting reading. When the band split up they were left with nothing. One of them bought a house for his mother and had to hand it back.

Saw the documetary about it and to be fair they came over as good lads. Not sure of they got it all sorted out though, hopefully they did.

Remember my sister going to see them BITD, all dressed in tartan!

Yeah they were massive with the ladies, I'm going with my missus and her folks - should be a decent gig, by all accounts this tour is their last because they keep arguing, lead singer fronts his own Bay City tribute band and been selling his CD's at their events, so all aint good

I'm 62 what a load of rubbish

I remember them when they were at their peak. They were popular with girls aged from about 10 up to their mid teens, but I don't think many people aged much over 15 thought they were any good. My sister's bedroom wall was covered in their pictures, but she was aged about 10 at the time and like most girls of that age liked Bay City Rollers, Donny Osmond, David Cassidy etc. They were all popular with what we called the teeny boppers.

Their manager Tam Paton is a wrong un who was mates with Johnathan King, he stole everything from them.

I would rather cut my toes off with a boltcropper and dip the stubs in salt.

Yeah that's his name.

Mckeown visited him for this documentary. Mckeown was in a bedsit in London while Paton lived in some mansion on the outskirts of Glasgow with an army of security men protecting him. Mckweon showed him a contract he signed for £500k of which Paton just said "dont remember signing that". You just knew he did the way he smiled back at McKeown.

Unless you were an 11 year old girl in the early 70's they were a steaming pile of wank.

Doubt they've improved much over the last forty years.

Wolfpac the 70's teenybopper.

'Dust your flares down love, we're off to see the Bay City Rollers'

As I am now toeless and in quite some pain due to the stub salting, I am now about to pickle by balls in boiling acid whilst rasping a cheesegrater on my eyeballs.

I'd rather drag my balls through 3 miles of broken glass to hear Vincent tan fart though a walkie talkie.

without doubt todays most disturbing thread.

is anyone off here going.
yeah.the soul crew got back together and dressed up especially for it.

It was a good night, played all their classics and some xmas bangers, few men there wearing City shirts so there were some Bluebirds in the house

"Give a little love, take a little love, be prepared to forsake a little love, when the sun comes shining through, we'l know what to do"

After reading those wonderful lyrics I've got a tear in my eye mate, I'm pinning for simpler times in Scotland, where my main concern was where my next deep fried Mars Bar was coming from

I was a youngester myself when the original boy band the bay city rollers came on the scene but the way they were ripped off by there manger was shocking whether you like them or not nobody should have to go through that .

Bay shitty rollers on tour, Fighting back in vogue at football matches and the rise of extreme right wing nationalist politics.
I must have fallen through a rip in the space time continuum and landed back in 1973!
Well at least Bob Marley is still and alive and punk rock is just around the corner, so something worth looking forward to.
Next thing you know we won't be part of the Eu - that's progress I suppose!
