Hmmm, no thanks! Get me down the front! I'm gonna be sitting in a box above the standing stage invaders. Right above the stage. I can't stand sweaty bodies touching me.

thursday 1 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Important news, make a date on your calendar Quote: The Bay City Roller are back! But why? The rockers are sharing a stage with the Osmonds, David Essex and Leo Sayer. What's the enduring appeal of nostalgia tours? In a 1973 interview, Leo Sayer told the NME that he was a blues singer. He may have imagined himself, three decades later, venerated as Sussex's own BB King. Instead, this summer he'll be sharing a stage with David Essex, the Osmonds and the Bay City Rollers in the Once in a Lifetime 2010 tour, kicking off in Manchester next month, and ending in Cardiff in July. This is an astonishing teen dream line-up – you only need add David Cassidy (and subtract little Leo) and you account for pretty much all the sales of Blu-Tack in the mid seventies. They were all rivals at the time, vying for space in Jackie. I was a devoted Essex-ite, thought Rock On was the most remarkable and creepiest record in the world, but was forced by my fierce younger sister to sing Jimmy Osmond's Long Haired Lover from Liverpool whenever she was bored. The girls that sang Bay City Rollers' Shang A Lang with aggressive loyalty on the school bus made me cower. These days all those stars' catalogues are glued together in the memories of pop fans in their late 40s. David Essex never got to hang out with his pin-up rivals at the time as they all travelled in separate limos. Now he can share a post-match bottle of Merlot with Leo Sayer, though the clean-living Osmonds are less likely to be propping up the hotel bar. The appeal of these tours isn't hard to work out. For the singers it's unpressured; for the audience it's a chance to return to a time before marriage, kids and mortgages broke their youthful spirit. There are no album tracks, no secret b-sides for the geeks, just the hits. Nostalgia tours in the UK can be traced back to the Rock'n'Roll Revival show at Wembley in 1972. That also started a trend for the odd man out slot now occupied by Leo Sayer (Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard were joined by Joe Meek's marginally talented charge Heinz). On the Here & Now 80s nostalgia tour in 2009, Johnny Hates Jazz were the unlikely lads, earning around £100,000 for playing a handful of 15-minute slots. These tours come across like a middle-aged school trip. Just as well, really – David Essex's dig at the rock media in Gonna Make You A Star and Bay City Roller Les McKeown claiming that he sang shang-a-lang as he ran with the gang can hardly be delivered with a straight face by men of an age more suited to It Was a Very Good Year.

thursday 1 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 ----------------------- Derek Longmuir, a founder member of the Seventies pop group Bay City Rollers, was sentenced to 300 hours of community service at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for possessing child pornography. Longmuir, who has been suspended from his job as a nurse at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, refused to comment when he left court. The drummer of the Scottish group, now 49, pleaded guilty earlier this month to having indecent films, videos and photos of children at his Edinburgh home. He also admitted making indecent photos of children at his home in March 1998. ---------------------------- THat was 10 years ago, so now he's 59. Link to post Share on other sites
