Episode 26 - Barry Galvin

“Bring the Guitar”

Barry is someone that I have got to know through us working together on the Orient Hour through Phoenix FM and what a great guy he is.

 

A fan of Leyton Orient that through a delayed order in the club shop got to know the Commercial Team, ended up sponsoring the club and eventually was offered the role of Stadium Announcer on match days.

 

Baz's musical background and experience of playing to crowds and working the stage meant that he made a seamless entry to the role and whom soon became a firm favourite within the club and with fans and visiting teams alike.

 

We talk about his start at the club, his game day routine, his sprints up and down the stairs, pre match, half time and post match their is a lot to take care of and make sure he gets done for the club and its sponsors.

 

We talk about the worst names to pronounce, his favourite days with the mic and the recent Manchester City cup tie.

 

A lovely bloke whom's passion and love for the club can be felt and his pride of doing this job always shines through. I thorughly enjoyed this chat and we ended on one of the best memories of the last Division Two title win which involved Baz and his trusty guitar.

 

I hope you enjoy the episode and if in doubt “Turn it round the corner”.
