The Bay City Rollers will perform live on stage at the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow, where presenter Jackie Bird will be hosting Hogmanay Live 2015. The 1970s boy band, which is composed of lead singer Les McKeown and band members Alan Longmuir and Stuart Wood, will be performing hits such as Shang-a-Lang and Bye Bye Baby.

 

Jackie Bird, a self-confessed Rollers fan, said: "If I'd known when I was 15 that I'd get to introduce the Bay City Rollers on live telly, I'd have thought all my Christmases had come at once.

 

'We're thrilled to have them on the show - they're a perfect fit for Hogmanay.

 

"Their music crosses the generation gap and their legendary anthems will keep the party going wherever you are. We've got a great night's entertainment lined up."

 

Meanwhile, Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain will also be featured on the Hogmanay show and will do the countdown to a year. 13-piece supergroup Treacherous Orchestra will also throw their unique energy into the mix as well as Choral Stimulation, the Scottish-based acapella group.
