The Bay City Rollers are on a comeback trail after 40-years

#BayCityRollers #rollermania The Bay City Rollers are on a comeback trail and, on stage, three ghosts from the past gather under the spotlights. In front of a sea of screaming women waving tartan scarves, the Bay City Rollers are once more rocking to the Shang-A-Lang sound of the music.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 31 December 2015.

There were apprehensions that Rollermania had gone into the pop’s deep freeze, along with the woolly mammoth and The Archies but, the Bay City Rollers are coming back after four decades when Les McKeown, Alan Longmuir and Stuart ‘Woody’ Wood made young girls scream.
They have reunited to surf a booming surprise second wave of fandom. The reformed group were only going to do a few Christmas dates. However, when the tickets sold out in three minutes flat, more shows were added. It is understood that they will now appear in Edinburgh, Manchester and London.
There is even talk of a new world tour to cover Japan, Australia, America and Canada.
40years is a long time and when onstage at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, the group’s lead singer in his tartan-trimmed, silken frock coat, and sporting salt and pepper hair, a thicker waist and broader jaw than in his heyday - no one will mistake the same cocky Les of the past.
Les turned 60 in November, Alan Longmuir is 67 and Stuart ‘Woody’ Woods is 58 - to them, age is no bar.
