Meet Ian
Hi. I’m Ian Birch.
I live in in North West England.
I have an adorable 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Amber and I love local theatre. My home overlooks rolling hills and the Leeds and Liverpool canal.
I have wide musical tastes from early music to the occasional chart topper and play piano and keyboards. I have toured abroad with orchestras and choirs and have appeared on BBC and C4 TV or radio singing or playing music. I studied music for a year at university before changing to journalism!
