Liam Gallagher voices Manchester Metrolink tram announcements

Liam Gallagher is taking over Manchester's tram network by voicing passenger announcements.

The Oasis frontman will be giving out recorded route information as the city hosts the Beyond The Music festival.

Wherever possible, organisers are urging music fans to use public transport to get to and from gigs.

Gallagher also wants to "do his bit" to encourage people to support up-and-coming talent, a spokesman for the Mancunian musician said.
