George Sephton

[Andy G]

How long has he been doing it now?

 

My first ST was 1976/77 and although I cannot guarantee that he was doing it then, I cannot remember anyone else, so I would say more than 30 years.

The most bizarre thing George ever played was something by Celine Dion. It wasn't a song, though they're bad enough, but a message. It was around this time of year and it was some Christmas greeting that she'd tagged onto her seasonal release. George thought it was a "nice little greeting" from the formerly snaggle-toothed Canadian. Most thought it was a weird bit of shite but George seemed to genuinely enjoy the thing. He's a bit off beam at times is George. He's played everything from Bert Kaempfert to Focus so nothing should really surprise us when Sephton is at the decks. Fuck knows what he listens to on his days off - Hitler's speeches perhaps.

George loves his music - whether it be spinning the platters on the midnight mumblings on Dune FM (remember that?), or manning a stall at the record fair. He's got his finger on the pulse. He was on 6 music just the other week.

as long as he stops playing that "does this train stop on Mierrrrsiesiiiide" number, he's got no problems. that song is just horrible.

I can't personally vouch for this but I remember reading (pretty sure it was on RAWK) that George was the only employee who wasn't given a freebie to Istanbul for the final. Apparently the club thought UEFA were going to take him to do the English PA announcements. It turns out that they never. I can't remember whether he actually went in the end, but it was a poor show to overlook him in the first place, especially when you consider everyone from the club shops and the ticket office got tickets, whether they were a red or not.
