Bay City Rollers in Newcastle upon Tyne

Bay City Rollers are a Scottish pop-rock band formed in Edinburgh in 1964. Their bright, hook-led songs and tartan-clad image became central to 1970s teen pop, led by records including “Saturday Night,” “Shang-a-Lang,” “Bye Bye Baby” and “Give a Little Love,” as well as the albums Rollin’ and Once Upon a Star. Bay City Rollers toured Britain, North America and Japan during the height of “Rollermania” in the mid-1970s. Their 1977 performance at Nippon Budokan was documented on Rollerworld: Live at the Budokan. Les McKeown, Alan Longmuir and Stuart Wood later reunited for a 2015 concert at Glasgow Barrowland.
