Eric Stewart Interview 07/03/1981

Eric Stewart Interview on Multi-Coloured Swap Shop 07/03/1981.

[@citizenseventies6738]

Eric is 36 here yet he looks at least 10 years younger. Amazing to look at him here in the early 1980s and knowing he was still old enough to have had hit records in the previous two decades. Such a boyish and handsome looking devil he was here.

[@gw2031]

Fell in love with 10cc as a kid, never left me, i became a lead guitar player because of Eric, he,s more known as the silky voiced front man but trust me he is one of the greatest guitar players ever from the UK ,fabulous vibrato on a screaming Les Paul !

[@gilliansimpson1241]

I definitely agree x

He’s the whole package. So multi talented.

Gosh he is very young here. Always modest. I have always loved 10cc! ❤❤❤❤👍🤗💯👏👏👏👏

[@stanbimi]

Eric Stewart was reported to be badly injured in a car crash in 1978 so he looked surprising good in this 1981 interview. 10cc "I'm Not In Love" is an all time greatest song. Eric won my admiration forever for writing it.

[@zeldafan9016]

I think the reason he wore glasses or shades later on was because of the fact that the car accident damaged his eye

[@pas6862]

Great interview. I remember making a point of watching this as Eric was going to be interviewed. Comes across so grounded. Very funny too! Loved him in the seventies and still do!

[@janeyorke4197]

Wonderful interview, great talented 10cc

[@220773]

Noel, Liam: LEARN. This is Manchester. This is what the city gave birth to: a handful (4) of absolute genius-incredibly talented-witty and clever individuals who shone all through the '70s under the name of 10cc. I know, you 'new-mods' from Burnage, you don't fancy 'art rock', aye... well, 'art rock' was just a label, what lied underneath was one of the most underrated works of creativity and vocally perfect crafted songs, probably THE most underrated ever. Oasis will never come close to that, not even by 1000 miles... Eric? What a man. 'Nough said.

[@220773]

+Gianmaria Framarin Subbuteo featured Everton and Liverpool, anyway, and I'm a toffee. ;-)

[@clg850b]

Eric seems like a really nice guy, just seen 10cc in Rhyl and what an amazing show, dreamtime now....if only Eric, Kevin and Lol were there.

[@lightowl4345]

This is so fun to watch. 1981 and the way the show is run is interesting.

[@andrewmatthews6861]

Pity noel went the same way as David icke 😥

[@TheEctomorph]

Omg .... Mr Stewart looked almost as young (when he was interviewed by Noel Edmonds on "Multi-Coloured Swap Shop") as he had done when "I'm Not In Love" was @ number one in the charts some six years earlier, in June 1975!

[@lassel1644]

Loads of tales to tell ; especially the last gig the Mindbenders did with Wayne Fontana in Buxton; me and my friend in Bob Lang’s jag with Eric and Wayne in his jag having a race to get back to Manchester xx Don’t regret it all x I will always love Eric xx

I'm a long time 10cc fan and first saw them at Glasgow Apollo in 1974, the ticket price was £1.75. It doesn't sound very much but I was only earning £0.40 an hour in what was my first job! As a 16 year old I wore my hair like Eric although I wasn't as good looking as him😂😂 I used to think I was😉😉 Thanks for posting

It was really great of Dirk Diggler to sit down for this interview. I don't know why they didn't talk about "You Got the Touch".

Some odd questions in there. Would they not keep the questions related to the bands themselves to give actual fans the best chance of winning? Architects and lowest temperatures! Regardless. Eric is a legend.

So if they were lucky enough to break even on tour then with record sales, what chances do bands have today?

[@petergreen2552]

Groups would needed stadium shows then to make proper money but very few played them.

Touring then was just as expensive as it is today. That's why the biggest acts do stadiums.

I STILL can not have the fact that HE is "Eric". He looks EXACTLY like a "Kevin" while,ironically, Kevin Godley looks like an "Eric". It took me decades to establish who was who when they were both 100c and I still haven't fully accepted it. However do not ask me to, logically, explain it from knowing many "Kevins" and "Erics" over the last 65 years :)

When Eric responds to his introduction,does he say "Thank you Tony"? Piss take of Tony Blackburn ? or a slip of the tongue?As the interviewer is Noel Edmunds,who was a contemporary/rival of said Mr Blackburn.

Hello Sandy, I think the words are as follows. Noel: Terrific film. Eric, a very good morning to you. Eric: Good morning. Noel: Thank you so much for coming in this morning. Eric: It's a pleasure. All the best Ian.
