Gilly returns with a Christmas show on Red Rose Radio

Former BBC Radio Lancashire presenter John Gillmore is to host a one-off show on Red Rose Radio.

Gilly has worked on radio in Lancashire since joining the original Red Rose Radio in 1985, where he stayed for 13 years. He then settled at BBC Radio Lancashire after a stint on Breakfast at The Bay in Lancaster.

He was at BBC Radio Lancashire from 2005 until recently when his show was part of the recent cuts.

John said: ‘I’m looking forward to presenting a Christmas Day programme on Red Rose Radio again where I previously presented Christmas morning every year from 1987 until 1997.’

John will host 11am to 1pm on Christmas Day on the new DAB version of Red Rose Radio, run by Rob Charles.
