I Loved this interview and Barbara brings out the best in Billy ,Great info where Billy loved Hank Williams - Long gone Lonsome Blues and much more info and lovely stories and we learn great things about Barbara Lovely interview
That was a great interview. My uncle used to sing ‘I’m no awa tae bide awa’ when he was going back home, after a visit with his seven children. I used to work beside Barbara Dickson many many years ago in Rosyth Dockyard. She occasionally brought her guitar into the office and sang a song. ( only at lunch time tho, no fun was allowed during working hours). She was fun. Happy days.
I met you Billy many years ago walking down Park Lane London. Wow, I thought, "I must speak to him, once in a life time opportunity, I must tell him how I love his comedy, especially since I'm a Glaswegian too." Surely we'll have that connection!!! I was polite in my approach. But I was disappointed at your response. I soon felt that being a Glaswegian didn't really cut any ice with you. I felt awkward. They do say you should never meet your heroes. Lesson learned. Saw you some years later at Piccadilly Circus. Didn't approach you again. By the way I'm no madwoman. In Glasgow they'd probably refer to me as harmless..............
When Billy became famous he started to have a problem with fans approaching him on the street, invading his privacy etc. You can't just approach somebody on the street who doesn't know you and expect them to greet you with open arms. celebrity or not. Just leave them alone.
2 great scots. Very funny Billy Connoly and the fantastic Barbara Dickson. Brilliant interview.
Excellent interview with flow lubricated with a genuineness! Most enlivening for fans of two very loved Scottish legends. Just nice.

So enjoyed the interview. Two Scottish treasures having a lovely chat, and also some music. 🏴🏴👏👏👏
Brilliant Interview
Love both... sad the songs were edited out though...
"I fancied you, y'know" Didn't we all, Billy? didn't we all!
Two longstanding friends having a wee blether, wonderful.
Really enjoyed it... I'm guessing this interview was some time ago.
I’d love to know when this was.

Finally the truth- so he didn't join the wrong cue but applied to become a welder on his own accord
So that's how you spell queue. And I've been spelling it wrong all these years. Well I'll go to the foot of my sock.
@@irbennett Unnecessary as it is l who mispelled the (french) word. It is of course 'queue' :)
Lovely human.
Barbara D, not Billy!
