David Paton Before PILOT

David Paton left the Bay City Rollers in October 1970 to form a new band called Fresh (David Paton on bass, Dougie Cochrane on lead vocals, Jake Dourley on guitar, and Ronnie Hoggs on drums).
The band renamed itself Christyan, got a record deal with Decca, cut a catchy single (Nursery Lane), but never broke into the big time, lasting just two years...

Nursery Lane

The animal in me - Boots 1968

Even the bad times are good

Give Me One More Chance - Beachcombers

Desperate Dan - Christyan

Bay City Rollers - 1969//1970

"I wrote “Mr Tam Bam” and Billy wrote “Lost in your dreams”.
I still have the recordings but the lyrics are a little negative.
I did not record any music with Bay City Rollers". David Paton.

Your Day Will Come - (feat. David Paton)







"On vocals, I reached out across the pond to Edinburgh, Scotland to recruit pop legend David Paton.
David sang the #1 hit "Magic" with his band Pilot and was one of the founding members of the Alan Parsons Project.
It was truly an honor to work with David and all the musicians who contributed.”Mike Collins
