Description
The Bay City Rollers were one of the brightest musical phenomena of the 1970s, emerging from a decade marked by economic uncertainty and social change. Their story begins with Alan Longmuir, an apprentice plumber from Edinburgh who was inspired to form a band in the 1960s. As the group's popularity grew, so did their success, leading to a string of million-selling records and a phenomenon known as "Rollermania". This mass hysteria spread across the world, captivating fans everywhere. In his memoir, Alan Longmuir recounts the surreal journey that took him from the streets of Edinburgh to the heights of fame, and shares some of the myths and untruths that have surrounded the group over the years. A personal account of one of music's most iconic moments, I Ran With The Gang is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the Bay City Rollers' remarkable story.
