659 Earsay

First  viewed  : 31  March  1984

Earsay  was  a  mildly  diverting  Saturday  evening  pop  magazine  show  in  the  latterday  Whistle  Test  mould  . It  ran  on  Channel  4. It  had  a  nicely  balanced  presenting  team  of  Nicky  Horne, a  bearded  junior  Bob  Harris , who  liked  guitar  pop  and  the  annoying  London  DJ,  Gary  Crowley,  who  adhered  to  the  Weller  manifesto  that  rock  was  dead  and  jazz  and  soul  were  the  way  forward.

It  is  best  remembered  for  Horne  conducting  a  45  minute  interview  with  Morrissey  that  then  went  unbroadcast   though  you  can  find  it  on  Youtube.
