Mornings will be brighter from now onwards as Dave Redmond from Gorey will take over the Breakfast Show slot on South East Radio next Monday morning starting at 7 am.

An experienced broadcaster who has been heard on 2FM, Today FM, Radio Nova, the BBC and other local stations, Dave is returning to South East Radio where he made his debut as a very young presenter many years ago.

He is bound to be a hit with early morning listeners and will bring his own inimitable style to the local airwaves.

Dave takes over the slot left vacant by the sudden death of Stephen Dee, (47), at his home in Waterford a few days before Christmas.

After Stephen’s death South East Radio was overwhelmed with messages of sympathy and condolences and filling his shoes is a major challenge.
