B-A-Y!

B-A-Y!

with an R-O-L-L-E-R-S Bay City Rollers are the best!!

It's a rotten shame that Les got defrauded out of all his money. The Bay City Rollers were probably the best Boyband ever but he is struggling to make a few quid these days, long after he should have retired. That's probably why Nicky Byrne is trying to put glitter on that turd of a Lottery Show on RTE1, you have to get the money in the bank while you can.

He should be remembered as he was then, not how he is now ...

Watch Tubridy make a big song and dance about that photo of Stephanie Roche walking across Ronaldo and Messi where they supposedly "check we out".

Christ some of the stuff that passes for journalism these days would sicken you!

As an aside...James and all his Real Madrid buddies had a presentation on the pitch just before kick off tonight,not the best idea as Torres rattled the net after 49 seconds.

Anyway,looking forward to seeing Stephanie as I feel RTE could be eyeing her up as a potential presenter.

Yeah Dirk, I know what you're saying... It is 100% certain that Tubridy will put that photo, say something like "look at the lads, acting the maggot" and I bet he will use one of the cool kid's term like "Look at them checking you out".....Before moving on to his stock question "How does it feel looking at that?"

I'm already cringing...

LynnGrace

Great OP, WM.

Only problem with the bunnies, I keep thinking of Ol Donie and the white wine sauce

This will be a non stop clip show, even more than usual. Ah well, I will enjoy the thread anyway.

Stephanie has been on the Late Late two times already on the back of that goal, and while she seems like a nice, down to earth girl, I really can't see what more another interview with her can cover, apart from giving fodder to that non-story of Ronaldo and Messi "checking her out".

And why wouldn't they?....Stephanie was looking amazing and fantastic!!!

Are you talking about Nicky Byrne or Les, Skid??.......lol!......:eek:

Claire Byrne is delightful alright.

I reckon Nicky will do alright as a presenter. I didn't think he would be any good but his Radio and TV work so far has been alright. He will probably end up over the water where the real money is ... CountyHurler should enjoy him on the Irish stations while he can

The years haven't been as kind to Les, sadly. The BCR were enormous for a while but the money seems to have disappeared. I hope he gets a few quid from his live shows now. There is a long article about them here

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2005/jun/18/popandrock

The band sold 120m records, generating income worth £5bn in today's money and conquering the UK, US, Australia, Japan - everywhere. They were the world's biggest band since the Beatles.

When the Rollers failed, they failed like nobody else. Suddenly no one wanted to know. By 1976, the Rollers were twee and trite, yesterday's teen icons. Horror story piled up on horror story: apocalyptic fallings-out, a fatal car crash, drug and alcohol addiction, heart attacks, strokes, poverty, child porn convictions and suicide attempts. The story of the Bay City Rollers became an awful cautionary tale of fame and its fallout.

CH will be lighting candles on the altar for years to come by the looks of things.....:)

We should have a collection for money towards a contribution for candles......like a cake sale.......or suchlike.....:P

Ah, poor Les.........I can see him now with his very pale bare chest before waxing was de rigueur for young men.....:D...

Hardly. She's very much flash in the pan material.

Interesting article, Skid, thanks for that.
I'd like to hear him properly interviewed, which, of course, won't happen with Tub.

The BCR's 'Shang-A-Lang' was written by none other than Mr. Phil Coulter.

Is it wrong to know this? :O

I see no reason to feel like that WM!....Unless you have it written it down in a little black book waiting for Les to appear on the LLS.

Then I'd worry.

:eek:

I did not know that.

grey_so_what

Betcha Mr. T reads this thread and asks Les about WM's vast knowledge of the BCR!!

The Stephanie Roche thing is getting a bit like...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a705hL-Rdz0

Still, I shouldn't knock her as I'd probably be doing the same thing.

I am expecting TeleTubby to be pretty cringeworthy in the segment though as others have said.

Let me add to the Claire Byrne appreciation by saying I too am a fan. :cool:

I like it!

Nick Lowe (who was connected to pretty much every decent Pop record of the late seventies) once wrote a Bay City Rollers fan record, in an attempt to get out of his United Artists record contract. Naturally, they loved it and it went to No.1 in Japan :pac:

grey_so_what

Loved Nick Lowe's voice!... ...

I won't even mind the countless clips of The BCR's tonight!!

I think I heard Phil Coulter mentioning that in an interview once, but I'd forgotten it.

No, definitely not wrong to know it!

Stand by tickets? For the Late Late?

I'm not sure why, but the very idea irritates me something fierce.

Hope you get in, all the same*.




*Unless someone has to miss the show because they are sick. Because that's not nice.

Funnyonion79

With stand by tickets you have to show up and wait and see if others have cancelled or are no shows. If we don't get in, we still get the one for everyone in the audience prize and are guaranteed tickets for another show later in the season.

I'm here now having some free wine waiting with all the other actual audience people. Should know soon enough...although tonight's line up doesn't actually excite me much...still - it'll be a but of craic I'm sure!
