Whistle Test Interview, 1986

[@walterredaelli7507]

Loved those guys... still giving me shivers when I hear the Crossing and Steeltown. Jumped school to see their concerts. Went to Scotland to see the Highlands.. Their guitars are part of what I am.

[@chazworm]

I loved this band and loved their sound. I need to find "The Crossing" in 8-track form

[@soyghost1]

good interview-- he actually challenged the band a bit to respond to their critics, and they do so honestly and eloquently

[@samuelwragg8615]

Steeltown is a great album

[@tyeistops]

Thanks for posting this...1 of my fav interviews!

I remember watching this segment on Whistle Test, in '86, I think that Stuart was so unassuming and humble, and Tony was so softly spoken, and Bruce was very hard to understand, while Mark was very honest about his musical tastes...
he was correct, Abba and Bucks Fizz did put out great pop songs!!

Did Bruce forget to switch his mobile off?

I cringed at the American Magazine quote...had I been around to write that article it would have been very different, as in not insulting.

Did Stuart play gravitar and black knight while composing?

[@jackiebrown7229]

if Stuart's guitar sounds a bit like bagpipes it's cos it sings in a Scottish accent. 😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Terrible interviewer.... disrespectful.... great band... deserve more respect 🙏

[@PeachPearl54]

Was Stuart nervous or just hungry?
