About Dave

David Lawrenson has been hanging around here at Wire FM for 10 years - he started as a "sticker giver outer" (official title). Then we stuck him on the radio.

You can listen to Runcorn's very own, every Saturday afternoon from 2pm. Dave presents Saturday Sport where you are never more than a few minutes from the premier league and local action, or a great song.

When I said how the Christmas lights were "looking beautiful" only for my comment to be confused with a sound-alike swear word and generating multiple complaints to the boss.
