Ian ‘Zippy’ Lees

Which show(s) do you host?

I host the Sixties Show on Saturday evenings, 6-8pm.

What is your background?

I used to DJ on the road in the early 80s for Greenalls Brewery visiting pubs on a tour called Classic Rock Radio. I also presented another show called Disco Inferno and for many years have done kids entertainment across the north west with Disco Magic and Punch and Judy.

Why is music your passion?

I love music from the 60 and 70s and I like to talk about the history of the music and the way we were brought up in the old days too.

Why Radio Warrington?

I chose radio Warrington as I was brought up in the town and it has a lot of history.

Tell us something interesting about you?

I have appeared on many TV game shows including Family Cooking Showdown on BBC2 and Golden Balls with Jasper Carrott on ITV.
