In late 1976, McGlynn briefly joined the Rollers as a replacement for band memberIan Mitchell. McGlynn usually played rhythm guitar in the band, occasionally switching to bass on stage in songs that featuredStuart Wood on keyboards.
In 1977, McGlynn released "She'd Rather Be with Me", which peaked at number 65 in Australia.[1]
