Eric Faulkner's Bay City Rollers
The Bay City Rollers occupy a bizarre and unique place in Rock and Pop history. In the mid-70s they somehow managed to fill the void between Glam, Pop and Punk to create a sound and image that was instantly recognisable and caused a wave of tartan to roll across Britain, America, Australia, Japan and all points in between.
In an era when records regularly sold in their hundreds of thousands, sales of Bay City Rollers singles and albums smashed through all the barriers. “Bye Bye Baby” was the top selling UK single of 1975 and the band was voted “Group of the Year”.
