After 2 successful years on XFM’s afternoon show, Dan has decided to leave XFM.

In his time at XFM, he’s covered the Mercury Music prize, spent a month in the Alps and worked at festivals around the world. Not forgetting, interviewing most of the XFM playlist.

Programme Director, Andy Ashton, thanked Dan for his work and wished him all the best for his exciting projects in the year ahead.

XFM is a new music station that broadcasts across the UK. It’s most famous for launching the careers of Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Karl Pilkington and Jimmy Carr.
