1970's Group The Bay City Rollers Want to Reunite....For 1 Dang Song?!? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 08-26-2010, 12:54 AM

Former BAY CITY ROLLERS singer LES MCKEOWN is reaching out to his ex-bandmates - he wants them to reunite for a one-off concert.

The Shang-a-Lang hitmakers crumbled after MCKeown quit the group for a solo career in 1978.

Now he is eyeing a lucrative reunion in 2011 or 2012, and has launched a campaign on his website urging his former bandmates - brothers Alan and Derek Longmuir, Eric Faulkner, and Stuart 'Woody' Wood - to join him for a spectacular gig.

He says, "I am trying to put (the band) together, for one time only. Let's see Bay City Rollers, for one time only, back on stage in 2011 or 2012."

He wants to reunite the band for one concert not one song. But if they did reunite for one song I would hope that song would be S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night. On Saturday Niiight!!!

^ I think that's the ONLY song people know them for. Let's hope if that's the only song they do...no one asks for an encore!!

i love the Bay City Rollers and I look forward to them getting the band back together man.

The Great One · 08-26-2010, 05:57 PM

It would be great to see the Bay City Rollers in concert! Hopefully they will decide to do at least a small tour instead of just one concert.

dakert · 08-27-2010, 04:53 PM

The Bay City Rollers have a lot of Good Songs.
I almost had a chance to see them in LaCrosse WI in the early 90s but not enough tickets were sold so the concert was canceled. A month or so later the venue burned down.

PS-- Les, if you want to reunion to be a bit more Spectacular ask Ian Mitchell to participate

Oh man, when I was younger, I would buy 16 Magazine and Tiger Beat, and the Bay City Rollers were plastered all over them. I never understood their appeal!!! Years later, I feel the same way!

I stopped buying both magazines because I got tired of half the magazine being about them!

dakert · 08-27-2010, 11:03 PM

Phoebe, I was wondering who you liked reading about in 16 and Tiger Beat? I usually liked reading about anyone but Shaun Cassidy, BCR and KISS were my favs.

I would love for Shaun Cassidy to tour one more time

Yeah, but everyone and their mother did that song - from Dusty Springfield to Samantha Fox.

dakert · 08-28-2010, 01:37 AM

Everyone and their mother didnt record these songs:

Marlina
Rock and Roll Love Letter
The way I Feel Tonight
Dedication
Money Honey
Shang a Lang
Summerlove Sensation
Yesterday's Hero
Bye Bye Baby
You Made Me Believe In Magic
Lets Go
Remember (Sha La la la)
