George Sephton

As the football season gets underway, there's an air of excitement among fans as they look forward to their team's prospects for the next 9 months.At Liverpool's world-famous Anfield, there've been big changes ON the pitch, but it's fair to say that none have been as significant as those OFF the field - because for the first time in more than 50 years, a familiar voice will NOT be heard announcing the team changes or playing record dedications before the match. George Sephton is known as "The Voice of Anfield " and last season he hung up his microphone for the final time, having started as announcer in 1971. But he is much more than a familiar voice to Reds' fans - he was a champion of Merseyside music that generations of music fans got to know and love over the years.George also has some fantastic stories to tell from his time at Anfield, as Ian Prowse and Mick Ord discovered in this latest episode of the Misadventures in Music podcast.As the saying goes, "They don't make 'em like George nowadays" - more's the pity.Enjoy."Find George's Book -  https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/the-voice-of-anfield/Here's George's playlist  - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1wNxAIUyypPZOWKlMPKIND?si=25baf89d4c184856
