Dave Berry

Dave is presenting the show each weekday morning from 6.30am. He joined XFM London in 2007 to host drivetime and since then, he's increased his audience reach by 91% and hours by 53%, confirming his major appeal and engagement with listeners.

Following the show, Dave said:

"Presenting the all new XFM London Breakfast Show is a two-sided coin. On the one side, I had to get up at 5am and the coffee machine in the studio is broken. On the other side, we had a great blast with our first live guest Tom Clarke from The Enemy and the show got mentioned on the Charlton Athletic website. Hooray!"
