Pop legends the Bay City Rollers are mired in a fresh dispute over claims of unpaid cash from their reunion tours.
Drummer Derek Longmuir claims he has not received some payments after the 1970s chart-toppers went back on the road. Allegations relate to tours in 2015 and 2016 which saw singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir and guitarist Stuart “Woody” Wood, three of the “Classic Five” lineup, reform for a series of gigs.
The row unfolded on a number of Rollers’ Facebook fan group pages with Longmuir, 71, hitting out at the company organising the band’s affairs, Bay City Rollers Ltd (BCR Ltd). The dispute appears to date back to Alan Longmuir’s removal as a director from BCR Ltd. Alan, Derek’s older brother, died, aged 70, in 2018. Les, 65, died in 2021, the Daily Record reports.
