Ian Cheeseman

Known best for his many years at BBC Radio Manchester, and for being one of Manchester City’s biggest and most loyal fans, Ian has spent most of his life as a radio presenter, focussing mainly on his passion for Sport.

He joined Tameside Radio and launched a show which celebrates another of his huge passions, Theatre and Musicals.

The show is packed with interviews with theatre creatives and great show tunes, and is a must listen for all fans of musicals and the theatre.

Ian Cheeseman’s ‘Break A Leg’ show can be heard every Sunday on Tameside Radio between 7pm and 9pm, and is also repeated on a Wednesday from 9pm.

HERE ARE SOME IAN'S PREVIOUS SHOWS

• Ian Cheeseman: Break-a-Leg

  Back when we only had three TV channels, everyone watched the Eurovision Song Contest. I remember watching, with my Mum, when 18-year-old Dana won the contest with All Kinds of Everything. Fifteen years later, I used that song as my theme tune when I made my broadcasting debut on Hospital Radio. I’ve had quite the career since then.

  This is the time of year when you are spoilt for choice if you want to have an evening in the theatre. March is the month when the big musicals take to the stage at our wonderful Am/Dram societies.

  Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction and I think that applies to the story behind Come From Away, the Musical which ran so successfully on Broadway and in the West End and is now touring around the country.

  What a week! I’ve just spent a few days down in the West End enjoying several big Musicals. It can be very expensive to enjoy an experience like that, though with a bit of creativity in ticket buying, driving down rather than going by train and cheap hotels, it is possible.
