ALL the thrills and excitement of rollermania are headed to Weymouth later this month when Les McKeown’s Bay City Rollers will call in as part of their tour.

The band's UK tour arrives at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday, April 27.

This promises to be a unique voyage back to the 1970s, when Les and his legendary band ruled the world’s pop charts and the Bay City Rollers’ music became the soundtrack for a generation of teenagers.

After joining the Bay City Rollers in November 1973, the band, with Les McKeown on lead vocals, shot to superstardom. Remember, the Bay City Rollers' first single with Les McKeown's vocals, shot up the UK charts to No. 6 and was quickly followed by Shang-A-Lang, Summerlove Sensation and All Of Me Loves All Of You all hitting the Top Five. Bye Bye Baby was their first UK Number One in May 1975 followed by Give A Little Love in July.

Their first US single, Saturday Night, went straight to the top number one spot of the Billboard charts, and their first British album, Rollin" was the first debut album to top the number one position in the charts. The Bay City Rollers released many more Top 10 songs over the next two years including I Only Wanna Be With You and You Made Me Believe In Magic. Between 1975 and 1978, they toured all over the world and played to sold out crowds in the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

Les brings back the all the thrills and excitement of Rollermania, performing all the original hits including Bye Bye Baby, Shang-a-Lang, Remember, Summerlove Sensation and Give A Little Love plus many many more as well as introducing new songs from the upcoming new Bay City Rollers album.

The current legendary Bay City Rollers bring a new energy to all the classic hits.
