Andrew Cotter - The Dog and The Mountain
Commentators travel the world covering major sporting events, but do they cover major pubs events too? We're about to find out, as we welcome Andrew Cotter.
"βThe ever regular Robin Allender takes aim. If he is to sink this pint in one swift sip then surely he is to be crowned βPintsman of the Centuryβ here at The Moon Under Water. The playing conditions could not be more perfect, with a mist of desire blanketing proceedings. He grasps the glass, lifts it up to his mouthβ¦ And yes, he finishes it in one go! The Crowds of Ascension go wild, and Robin is hoisted high into the air by time the arms of time itselfβ. Now, when you read that in your head, whose voice narrated it? Because we can be quite sure that many of you heard the voice of this weekβs guest. Itβs sport broadcaster, commentator and author Andrew Cotter.
Andrew has been commentating on sport for over 20 years, and has one of the most recognisable voices around. Heβs lent his dulcet tones to coverage of the Olympics, Six Nations, Wimbledon and The Ryder Cup amongst other sporting events. Heβs also the man who brought Olive and Mabel - two lovable labradors - to the publicβs attention during lockdown, and has gone on to write two books about their adventures. Very soon his βPub of the Mindβ will take shape in front of your very ears, so settle down and follow us into the further realm."
