Bay City Rollers- Its only Rock and Roll

Similar story here - only the graffiti was on the gable wall of the houses facing the sea as you come in to Musselburgh.

But I did always have a soft spot for Les...showing my age now! Gay sex romps - well, there you go. Sounds rather jolly.

This is like one of those Chris Evans lists of obscure connections to celebrities (and I use that term loosely). Think Kipling who posts on here went to the same school as Woody and once had an English textbook that his name on it. Or did I just make that up?

There's several BCr connections here as Pat Quinn lived in Magdalene, he was a member after one of the bust ups. The drummer, Alan?, who later got a minor conviction for child sex issues, was one of the joiners who helped build our miller home in mountcastle.

Alan Longmuir was the bassist
It was his brother Derek that faced the charges of child porn


I had their autographs
Got them at a FAB 208 promotion party, the Rollers were there as a local talent, well before Rollermania

You are right- longmuir - I ought to have remembered that, sure there was an officer in the 25th called longmiur. And Mrs lornie of course. What's up were a sort of spin off band of the bcr, pat Quinn was a member and my pal Brian Spence from the Christians was also a member. It was the old story: they had a minor hit here and were mobbed when visiting Japan! Crazy.
