Bay City Rollers

Bay City Rollers

Bay City Rollers - was a popular British pop band of the 1970s and early 1980. The group had five members, and came from Scotland. Their Scottish identity was a major factor in their marketing, and they were one of few groups whose fans had a completely distinctive style of dress, the main elements of which were mid-calf-length tartan trousers and tartan scarves.

They had several hits that made to the Top 3 of the British charts, and for a period had their own television series, entitled Shang a Lang (the title of one of their hits). However, they were never popular with music critics and their popularity quickly waned.

The band members have said they chose their band's name by throwing a dart at a map of the United States. The dart landed on the map near the community of Bay City, Michigan.

Other hits include:

Bye, Bye Baby
