It’s a super sell out week for The Bungalow and it starts tonight with the legendary Bay City Rollers. It’s been a long time in the making, but Rollermania is coming to The Bungalow, Paisley this Christmas. So, get your tartan scarf out and journey back in time to those carefree days of the 70’s when Scotland’s original boy band ruled the World.
No longer Yesterday’s Heroes, The Bay City Rollers are back, they are touring and will be turning Paisley tartan this Christmas live at The Bungalow so from Saturday Night to Shang-A-Lang, this is going to be the best Christmas Party in Paisley.
I saw them last weeks at St Lukes. Do they sound good? Well, the line-up includes two Loud n Proud guys, Ian Thomson on guitar and vocals and Jamie McGrory, my talented son on drums, so I don’t mind saying myself, they sound amazing. Doors are 7pm, limited seats around the edge of the venue so get in early.
The very popular M65’s are back for more Mod and Northern Soul tomorrow afternoon. These afternoon sessions have been absolutely packed out so again get in early. Free entry and doors are 1pm.

Many of you will know of the turmoil going on at Rocknrollas. It looks like Margaret has a way forward after a turbulent time. I’d like to wish her all the best in getting the venue back into the music scene in Paisley where it deserves to be. Keep Music Live.
