Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I guess I'll start with the most obscure one first (mainly because thus far it's the only question I can think of!)
Tam Paton was the manager of the Bay City Rollers. He also managed another band which became Kate Bush's live back up band on her first tour. They had a hit before becoming her backing band with one of the greatest songs of all time entitled 'Magic'. Who were they? (This is probably the only time you will hear of a Bay City Rollers adjacent and Kate Bush and these guys question! Think of it as my gift to you.)
2. You can usually tell if somebody has made it if they have a tribute record made about them - The Bay City Rollers had at least two. The title of this quiz ('Woody, Eric, Alan, Leslie & Derek') is actually (most of) the chorus of one of them.
Somebody rather well known is behind this track. Who is he?
3. What was the name of the Bay City Rollers' lead singer BEFORE Leslie? He sang on the original single of 'Remember (Sha La La La)' which reached number six in the British charts. After Leslie joined the vocals for the song were re-recorded.

5. When the band reformed in 2015 who were the three original band members that participated in this reunion?
6. What was the name of the Bay City Rollers' first top ten single in the UK in 1971?

9. There is episode of the TV show "Friends" where-in Monica (Courtney Cox) and Chandler get engaged and Monica wants to get the Bay City Rollers for when the guests dance. Chandler says: "You couldn't get the Rollers anyway as Ian doesn't play any more."
