Episode Synopsis

In this enchanting tale, you'll meet George, a faithful and devoted guide dog who has spent years helping his companion navigate the world with confidence and independence. As George nears retirement, he reflects on his incredible journey and the countless lives he has touched along the way.   Inspired by Tom as a young boy, witnessing the relationship between his Uncle, who is blind and the close, tender teamwork with his guide dog.   Recorded live in the living room of Siobhan Meade, who is registered blind, with her guide dog, Marty, curled up at her feet and filling Siobhan's lounge with musical instruments and harmonies, to make you feel as if you are there. If you listen carefully, you can hear the occasional snuffling of Marty and now and again the odd bit of snoring.   'There's an irrepressible spirit throughout, with mutt-like panting amid the percussion and strumming. A laid-back, gently revelatory experience recorded in one living room to be heard in another' - The Guardian   Serving suggestion in how to listen to George:   Listen on headphones In your most comfortable chair At the golden time of dusk   George is a Headphone Story Production   Co-composers, musicians and singers are Tom Adams and Dan Scott Story is by Tom Adams Violinist is Claire Orme Sound Recordist is Dan Scott Musical Consultant is Lillian Henley Extant Enhance Consultancy is Maria Oshodi Blind Awareness Mentor is Siobhan Meade Streaming Consultant is Shamira Turner   Headphone Story is supported by Arts Council England
