Bay City Rollers! I remember standing in the middle of Glasgow in 73/74 when I was around 5 and crying because my Mum would not take me to the Apollo to see them in concert that night, the city centre was awash with tartan! I vividly remember it, she bought me a rosette with a big picture of them on it and I was happy. My grandad worked for the daily express in those days so I got a few piccies to keep me happy the next day![msnsmile]

Hey I had no taste in those days, I liked Showwaddywaddy to!

As Kaz says they are not a picture anymore, one of them killed someone drink driving I am sure????

We had a posh do at work a few years back at Xmas and we hired them in....was a great atmosphere lots of those stupid tartan wigs/hats!

You will have agreat night I am sure. .

Yes CDV unfortunately it was Les Mckeown that killed an old lady (i think), i was a very big fan in those days, and i love to hear anything that just reminds me of being a kid!!when we could leave doors unlocked! didnt hear of peadafiles (altho we know sadly that they were out there) we used to ride our bikes at the weekend for miles, build camps in the woods, camp out in gardens, so much freedom, and yet security!!!!! todays kids, always looking over there shoulders!perves around every corner!!!!!!!and music!!!! NOISE!!!!! more like!!!!
the era of the rollers and such like were the good old days!!!!and i love to remember everything about them,
i dont want to grow up!!!!!!!!!!!

We saw Les McKeowns Bay City Rollers at a one of those Butlins 70's weekends, I hate to say this but they were b****y awful, they were booed off stage. Can't say I was too upset, they weren't my favs even in the 70's. But it was really funny seeing all these women in the loo's crying at their eyes out at how their idols had fallen [msneek]

My sister on the other hand was potty about them, and we have a front page cutting from the News of the World of her shinning up a drainpipe trying to get to their hotel room in London

CDV we also saw Showaddywaddy, Susie Quattro, Alvin Stardust and loads of others at Butlins. These weekenders are a riot, I highly recommend them [msnwink]

Don't forget the one is a peadophile!

Liesa, thats why I said you will have to close your eyes, remember them as they were[8D]

[LiesaAnna]

well have met Alvin Stardust!! he came to the kids school christmas concert which was in the church hall, hes lovely! and saw him at Butlins in skegness!, platforms and zimmer frame!lol
i wouldnt have bought tickets to go and see them!!!my friend thought i would like it (which i do) for chrissy pres! but David Essex!!! David Cassidy, now if it had been Donny Osmond!!!!is tasteful!! oh how i love thinking of the old days!!!!!!!!!!![msnwink]

[rosie]

Liesa, arent the Osmonds playing at the concert? I know they are at the wembley concert with the rest of them?

[ClareC]

I am so excited, I bought some tickets for the Wembley show a couple of days ago. The Osmonds are playing all the shows I think but minus Donny. Never mind David Cassidy was always my favourite anyway.

I still think he looks lovely but then maybe thats my age and my eyes are starting to fail me too. There are tickets for sale on ebay but I've never spent that much on there. I don't know if its too risky or not.
