	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Tam Paton: The man behind Rollermania
		For 11 years, Tam Paton managed the tartan-clad, scarf-swinging Bay City Rollers whose audiences in the 1970s usually consisted of screaming masses of teenage girls.
		Paton nurtured the image of the boys next door and started the myth that the members preferred drinking milkshakes to alcohol.
		Paton, who has had two heart attacks, went on to become a property developer in his native Edinburgh, where he lives in a mansion in the Gogarburn area.

	The Bay City Rollers
		A local musician wannabe, Tam Paton, who was able to get them gigs in the Edinburgh area through his contacts, fell into the position of their manager.
		Paton sent out photos of the band to fan clubs and pop magazines in a bid for publicity, and a striking change of image occurred when the band adopted the tartan patterns of their country, added to shirts and half-mast trousers and scarves.
		In hindsight, Tam Paton was out of his depth, and Bell/Arista should have managed the group better, or at least arranged a business approach to management.

		TAM PATON has carefully lowered himself on to a massive red leather couch in his opulently decorated sitting room, chunky gold and diamond jewellery dripping from his right hand, his suit trousers creeping up to reveal thick grey sports socks worn with his smartly polished shoes.
		Paton's links with drugs have hardly helped his image, yet he argues it was his conviction 25 years ago for gross indecency involving two teenagers - one 16, the other 17 - leading to three years in jail that has forever tarnished him in the eyes of the public.
