Lewis Costello - Blackburn Rovers

We Welcome Your Teams - Football as seen by stadium announcers

About this episode

Our guest for this episode is someone who hasn’t been doing the gig for very long but he’s got a lot to say about the role of the announcer and the unique job that it is - it's the voice of Blackburn Rovers, Lewis Costello.

He's a stand-up, writer and commentator and is now just one year into the role at Blackburn, following the sad passing away of Matt Sillitoe.

Rich Hurst from West Brom and Alan Keegan of Man Utd talk to Lewis about the job, the people, the risky position he has to sit in for the job and how that buzz of being an announcer is so addictive.

There's new tunes sent round by ShootMusic as part of their Matchday DJ Service too, which you can get involved in by signing up for free new releases, [email protected]
