- Will meets and chats to Les McKeown from Scottish 70s chart toppers Bay City Rollers whilst on their 2016 50-date nationwide reunion tour. Recorded at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield on 13th November 2016.
...and yes, I know 'Low' by David Bowie was released in the 70s!

FINALLY. An informed interviewer showing some kind of respect to one of Pop Music's true icons. Well done.
What a great interviewer. It's so easy to rip people like Les off and take the piss because he appealed to a certain teenage demographic but the BCR brought massive joy to millions of people. Les was obviously ripped off by accountants and lawyers which affected him tremendously at the time. RIP Les, you were a great bloke!
To all the people who have left negative comments: if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all!
This interviewer Will has got to be one of the best that I have ever seen. Respectful. Knowledgeable giving the viewer depth of information instead of sensationalism. Someone give this man a job!!
I really like the interviewer!! He's very interested and respectful of what The Bay City Rollers actually accomplished!! They worked their a**es off!
I’m so pleased you said this. The rollers took so much crap from the critics and the music press. They worked so hard under extreme pressure. They are often disregarded as throw away bubble gum,,I disagree. Whilst not in the same serious league as other bands of the seventies their music is fun and has a place. 💕
I Love listening to Les McKeown talk.I Love his Scottish Accent.
I get the impression that Les is quite shy. It takes a good interviewer to relax him and build trust so he can be chatty like he is here. Well done, Will. What a lovely man, Les is. He was so right about the early days - the boyfriend you could never have on the bedroom wall. ❤❤
I like this Les McKeown Interview a lot . Les is very smart and informative in it.
Good to hear Leslie, Woody and Alan will be singing together again.
🌟I'm so sad-I love BCR forever♥️

Thanx for all and Thanx for all amazing Songs💫fly free and high✨✨✨
Enjoyed the interview. Here's a thought: when the Rollers had their massive success in '75, bassist Alan Longmuir had already been a gigging musician for ten years.
Rip les 🙏and alan
Good interview, shame he's no longer with us
Nice to hear him so positive.
Love you forever 💓
8/9/10 years old I was crazy about the rollers and Les made my heart bang and I felt I was in love with him ! Even though I was so young ha ha ,I desperately wanted to see them in concert but was told by mum “ You’re too young “ 😔 anyway the posters covered my walls , the best memories ever dancing in the living room with my best friend to the songs and aching to marry Les .. also Eric if I couldnt have Les ha ha .. so sad Les isn’t with us anymore , he was my first love and I will never forget him ..
I felt the exact way you did about Les. The posters, 16 magazine, and absolutely picked Eric as my #2 to marry if it couldn't be Les. My dad (bless his heart) took me to see them in NY. I was embarrassed since I saw no parents at the concert. I felt so uncool being there with my dad but it was the only way I was allowed to go. My dad spent the whole time lifting up girls that fainted and the stadium staff who got trampled and punched by fans! I could not hear one note of songs due to the volume of screaming. I never screamed. I just stood in silent awe not believing I was actually seeing Les live on stage. Like a dream. He was so gorgeous. Eric too.
R.i.p les
great interview.
Nice interview....
Really nice interview.
Don't care what he's done,.its what he can do, he's so fantastic.! Can't wait to meet him before he stops touring,.
Tragic nice guy les
Bad enough doing an interview in a backroom full of tables and chairs etc but they should have put a sign on the door saying" Interview in progress, do not enter".
Thanks for your helpful comment. Sadly, life in the back room of a Chesterfield theatre isn't as glamorous.
what about America 2018 Leslie? Please
Great to see the lads on tour but also sad as they should be relaxing with their millions instead of getting home at two in the morning.
💓😘
Well, that's my morning show for today...
Despite the cold, he actually looks like he's lost weight and looking healthier!!
Cold? Or coke user.
There were no drugs or alcohol found in his system on the day he died.
@@seahorselady1 did his son not say that hevjad started drinking again the day before he died?
They didn't do you any favours did they. That aside the interview was good.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
has les got a bit of a cold???
Coke addict.
I WONDER IF THEY'LL LIP SYNC THOSE SHOWS TOO.
Typical Les getting pissed off at someone lol :D :p
LES IS DOING THE GARDEN
So sad that he can't hold up without a crutch.
Les on the coke
well done Les, you've screwed things up again.
