Description

Eamonn Holmes reports for the Good Evening Ulster news programme on some Bay City Roller superfans. He speaks to Carol Brown who had been heavily involved in Rollers fandom during the 1970s, moving to Edinburgh to help with the fan club. Now she is back in Northern Ireland and raising a small child while attending university but she pulls out her scrapbooks of memorabilia to show the camera some of her collectibles. These include a piece of hedge from the garden of singer, Les McKeown. She also has a piece of chickweed from the garden of brothers, Alan and Derek Longmuir.

Eamonn also interviews another Rollers fan, Georgie Davidson from Newtownards. She owned a pony back in the 1970s and trained it to dance to the Rollers hit, Shang-a-Lang. We see a photo of the pony at a show wearing specially made Bay City Rollers tartan trousers for its front legs and are told that it even wore the famous tartan scarf.
