As much as I hate to "bump" that lovely photo of Johnny, here's some actual Roller news to chew on...courtesy of Ms. BaaBaa's sleuthing prowess:
FLOWER POWER LIVES ON
Written by Steve
Thursday, 13 October 2005
Kass is a lady who is loves the world of flower power and the hippies.
Give her tie-dies, headbands, swirling patterns and peace and love and she´s in paradise. Although she´s too young to have been a part of the original hippie scene, Kass, who now lives near Totana, says that she thinks the whole era was a magical time.
But she´s also very keen on music from other classic periods and runs an agency promoting all sorts of entertainment. When she was 19 years old, Kass was mad about pop and she met one of the biggest stars around, Eric Faulkner, of the Bay City Rollers.
The group was mobbed by tens of thousands of young fans wherever it went and its hits were the hymns of a generation. Kass is a singer and soon she found herself touring with Eric and other top musicians, performing to enthusiastic crowds. At the end of the Nineties, she decided on a change of career and opened a shop in trendy Camden Market where she specialised in her beloved retro vintage clothes and accessories. "It was great," she said. "I had my clothes and I was surrounded by musicians. We went out all the time, listening to new bands and hearing the latest music."
When she arrived in Murcia, Kass decided that this was the ideal spot to set up a booking agency. The Popshop has now carved a niche for itself, providing bands and acts to the many pubs, clubs and other venues that want something to get their customers moving. "We want to entertain people through music from favourite eras," said Kass, as she relaxed with a drink at Puerto de Mazarrón´s George and Dragon pub. "Our special themed nights travel the decades - the Fifties, Rock ´N Roll, the Swinging Sixties, the Seventies and Glam Rock.
These are the eras we all remember and love so much."Audiences are really encouraged to take part rather than just sitting and watching, and dressing in the fashion of the era is a must. There are prizes for the best costumes. Importantly, all the shows, which feature artistes from Spain and from the United Kingdom, are fully staged with professional sound and lights. Tomorrow night, Saturday, Eric Faulkner and friends will be bringing the great hits of the Bay City Rollers to the George and Dragon, and there will also be top tribute acts with the music of Blondie and Status Quo. Tickets 20 euros on the night, telephone 968 153 616 and coaches will run to and from Camposol.
