Om Bay City Rollers
THE ROLLERMANIA
Det skotske poprockband Bay City Rollers er kendt for deres verdensomspændende teen-idol-popularitet i 1970'erne. De er blevet kaldt "tartan-teen-sensationerne fra Edinburgh" og blev i perioden benævnt som "det største band siden Beatles".
The Bay City Rollers har solgt 300 millioner plader verden over, hvilket har gjort dem til én af de bedst sælgende artister i musikhistorie.
De var engang det største boyband i verden. Netop da Beatlemania feberen var overstået, blev der født nye superstjerner i "Rollermania". I midten af 1970'erne fangede det skotske band Bay City Rollers en hel generations hjerter.
I dag, et halvt århundrede efter bandets dannelse, og efter forsanger Les McKeowns død i 2018, er Rollers tilbage med original BCR-legenden Stuart "Woody" Wood i front og han lader lader, sammen med sanger Ian Thomson, bassist Marcus Cordock og Jamie McGrory på trommer, klassikere som "Give a little love", "Bye Bye Baby" eller "Saturday Night" skinne i et nyt, musikalsk lys. Ikke længere Yesterday´s Heroes - Bay City Rollers er tilbage og Tartan-fans har fået deres helte tilbage.
Tag rejsen tilbage til de sorgløse dage i 70erne da det skotske boy band regerede på hitlisterne. Med et salg på mere end 300 millioner albums verden over, tiltrak BCR fans i alle aldre og fænomenet Rollermania strøg kloden rundt.
Tartan fans in UK og andre dele af Europa blev snart efter fulgt af tilhængere i Australien, Canada, USA og Japan.
