    I wish I could meet Eric Faulkner. He was the dream of my teenage life, and now we are all old! I was an abused kid and my inner life was the best thing I had going for me! Thanks for being you, ERIC!

      Met him, he now lives very near me, came into where i work often..hes such a really nice down to earth guy! Didn't realise it was him to start with, and he never made himself out to be someone famous just was one of our town, but one day he smiled, those eyes twinkled and it was a light bulb moment, (I'm from the rollers era, 😂), so I googled him!..but respected him enough to leave him in peace!..just a really nice guy x

    This is a fantastic interview. A lovely man that is Eric Faulkner. So glad it happened in Scotland. The cradle of modern civilization. The Bay City Rollers deserve a spot in the RnR Hall of Fame. They were simply a worldwide phenomenon in the 70s. A legacy to last 100 years.

    Hearing the recent sad news of Ian's passing a few days ago on September 2, 2020, had me reminiscing about my first loves, The Bay City Rollers. Eric was my first real crush/love and always will be even now that I'm 58. That beautiful dark hair and those dreamy blue eyes stole my heart decades ago while listening to "Money Honey!" My original records I still have and can once again play them since record players are making a comeback. The BCR CDs I was able to acquire over the years sound great but there's nothing like being able to go back to when you were years younger when when life was fun and care-free and playing your records on your own turn table in your old bedroom, singing along with your friends who were also crazy about The Bay City Rollers and we each claimed a Roller as our own. Eric was mine and still is! 💖💖💖💖

    This is a good interview (although now a few years old). Diane E. Redpath has the right approach with Eric: warm, interested, but not too gushy. She gets this private person to open up a little about what he feels about his life and his music. He handles his fame and the adoration of his fans with his usual relaxed style and wry humour. Eric's evolving story is told through his music and the words to that music. I do not know of many rock stars who have such an enduring, interested following on the internet, as Eric. So, interviews such as this give us a rare glimpse into the man and his music that we all love. More please Eric!

    Eric is truly a multi faceted and talented musician, singer songwriter. I am pleased to see that he has posted several really great acoustic sets to TH-cam as well. Eric if you are reviewing any of these posts would you please open your posts for comments? Interaction with the long time fans is a great motivator. People are truly interested in your music and what it is that you have to say musically. God Bless you Eric, and keep on creating, you are a great talent.

      Wow just kids and my friends dad dropped us off in downtown Chicago ,Illinois USA
      That never would be done today
      That summer my 11 year old brother died
      I got thru it with the Rollers
      I am forever grateful
      Even as I listen to their music I'm reminded of the times the music would take me far ,far away. Took me away from my sexually abusive dad and a beautiful mom who didn't know how to handle her baby's death so she drank
      I feel as tho I owe so much to them yet they will never know

    I was honoured to interview Eric & Les back in the “It’s A Game” days/tour & it was rather quite interesting. Eric was quiet but took it seriously & Les didn’t (he’s charismatic!). I’ve seen Les in concert in the 90s so I’d definitely want to see Eric play, he’d have to come to the Canadian Calgary (in case he thinks I’m talking about the Scottish one😁). Fond memories from that day & evening (my friends & I so how got rooms directly below theirs in the hotel! I went out on the balcony after the interview & looked up & there was Les!). Definitely want to see the adult version of Eric, he came across as the intellectual of the group.

It was the origin of the name of Fort Calgary in Canada, which became the city of Calgary, Alberta.” From Wikipedia.

    Eric Faulkner is still one of my favorite guitarists, he was so underappreciated. Bay City Rollers were my first concert, 1976? God, I am old...lol 😂. Still know all of the Rollers songs. Love you Eric!!

      I'm probably older than you lol. I was 12 and 13 when they became popular in the US. I was brought up in a very strict home and wasn't allowed to go to concerts. I would have loved to see them. Woody and Eric have always been my favorites. I would go see them if they ever came somewhere near me. That will always be my dream.

    I was one of the screamers at Brisbane airport in Australia but a quiet one during the concert because I wanted to hear the music and watch Eric play guitar. At 12 years of age he had it, I just didn’t want what ‘it’ was 😂. Loved the mandolin. I travelled to Scotland in 2019 but sadly couldn’t find Eric but met many people who were also fans. Wish there was a place to visit for BCR like the Beatles Story in Liverpool. Great memories.

    BCR paved the way for other Scots bands. Simple Minds, Hip Sway, and so many others. I was a little girl in Elementary School, I the U.S.A. when BCR were popular. Many of us with Scots Ancestry felt a connection to the members of the band
