Great interview! Some familiar stories if you are a life long fan but lovely to hear Eric tell them with such enthusiasm still. I’m looking forward to vetting his autobiography now.
Bring o. Blog 2!
Congratulations on a superb interview. We have linked your interview on our News Page to get you more coverage and listeners. When can we expect Pt 2?
A great interview looking forward to part 2
Big fan of Eric Stewart. what a shame 10cc in the 1980s did not have the success in the charts they did in the 1980s
I meant in the 1970s. Doh!
I love to draw my film storyboards to Eric’s tunes. It makes for a very creative good vibes time at the drawing board, much to my clients surprise. This interview is a right corker!
Wonderful and insightful interview. Like spending an afternoon with two (brilliant) old friends. Thank you.
Brilliant anecdotes
Eric Stewart is a musical genius. So much fun to hear this. Thanks Jason!
