    Rest In Peace Les. So sad, he was always my favorite... saw them in 1977 in Santa Monica, California. The girls were screaming so loud I couldn’t hear the band!!!

      I've just recently completed my 60th trip around our Sun and remember quite well the huge Scottish Tartan tsunami that reached North America in late '75... If the BCR had the social media potential that "current" artists have, wowsers!! Cheers, take care, be safe from 🇨🇦

    Bay City Rollers was a real Pop Group.
    And they were very good Musicians.
    Alan Longmuir was the Founder of Bcr in 1965 with Derek his younger Brother.
    They have had changed The Band Names several Times .
    In 1968 Bay City Rollers was born.
    The Rest is History!

    The whole BCR story is so interesting. It had everything. It's strange to think this band had its beginning in the mid 1960s.

    I’ve been watching footage and videos of the transformation of “The Rollers” when they brought in Duncan Faure, and they wrote some fantastic music, very cheeky and clever!! Watch “Doors, Bars and Metal,” and “Life on the Radio!”😍

    Thank you guy's....All thru my teenage years I listened to your music on vinyl with a portable record player. Many night's you sang me to sleep, my room was covered in posters. Every second Saturday at our library many teenage girls would meet and talk about the band and exchange posters and stories as many had been to a concert, I did not have that opportunity until later in life, I met Les when he came to Canada with his wife and family. I was lucky enough to get to sign your wall in Bay City Michigan when The Bay City Rollers were in there hay day....Your music was clean and fun I will always hold a special place for the band...Again I thank you for your music and my wonderful teenage years!.....

    It's interesting because, as a contemporary, to these gentlemen; I think when you are young, you dress fashionably stylish and when you get older, you dress for comfort. Look at some of BCR's videos from the 70's and these guys are wearing tight clothes and platform shoes. Now they wear loose feeting clothes and tennis shoes. Exactly the same thing has happened to me!
