Bruce on 'Loose Ends'

Postby Moderne » 23 Jul 2017, 09:22

Hi everyone,

Bruce Welch was a guest on Clive Anderson's BBC Radio 4 show "Loose Ends" yesterday. No new info but good to hear him chatting...

Bruce appears at 36 minutes into a 42 minute programme so as you can see we don't get much.

The questions Clive Anderson is asking show how much research he did - less than none (eg 'Is Hank still doing music?').

Been interviewing for over 20 years, and still a total twit.

And here's a clip that shows Bruce arriving at what I think is Broadcasting House. So probably for a radio programme, but obviously not the one in question...

He still looks very enigmatic and distinguished, sort of like Doctor Who meets Dracula.

A bit unfair. They'll ask the kinds of questions that the majority of listeners want to hear. I'd imagine the majority of listeners these days would struggle to recognise his name without the Shadows context.

Fair comment. Also, Loose Ends isn't a serious interview programme it's a jolly chat. Bruce knows that game, played his part accordingly and will have raised a few smiles. It was fine as far as I'm concerned.
