Re: The Bay City Rollers!!!

I don't think they had any intention in playing serious, well crafted music.
They were a media ploy that worked extremely well. I just feel they should have atleast recieved some of the coin they were due. The only ones that listened to their drivel were teenage girls.


100% agreed :):):):):)

Re: The Bay City Rollers!!!

:blush: Cant believe Im admitting to liking these. I had a terrible crush on Derek, always seem to pick the least popular guy in bands.

Gutted years later to discover that he is on a sex offenders list. Not possible! But hey they are only human, Ive stopped putting Muscians on pedestals (no offence if any on the forum).

I enjoy the music for what it is :D

Re: The Bay City Rollers!!!

There is an Ian Mitchell mention in Ric Porters book Welcome to Pornoland. Ian (Mitchell) was a cook during a porno shoot, and shared a room with Ric (Porter).

Here's an excerpt from the book:
Ian Mitchell was also involved in the shoot - but this time he had been booked as location chef rather than the on-screen star. It seemed strange in a way to see someone who had played huge stadium gigs with The Bay City Rollers who were, in their time, the biggest band in the United Kingdom, now making sandwiches and tea for completely unknown porno actors. Such I guess is the fickleness of fame and celebrity!

I was sharing a room with Ian and, that first night over dinner, I thought what a great atmosphere it was - just like the old days of Rock’n’Roll Ransom; a good party atmosphere, with alcohol, anecdotes and Louise methodically building the longest joint I’d ever seen, and then, after she’d smoked it, methodically building an even longer one!

Maybe Ian will open a new website some time. It would be good to hear his views on being a cook in the Nether Worton House kitchen while preparing food for the cast & crew who working on Anal Academy :cheers2
