Dave Lincoln

Dave Lincoln started his radio career in Liverpool at the age of 21 as one of the founding team at Radio City and presented the afternoon show on City's first day in 1974. Eight years later he moved to be part of his second launch at Red Rose. A further six years later and a dual-career in management and Dave had become Managing Director of the station. In 1991 Dave joined Emap and over the next decade Dave launched and managed stations from Preston to Cardiff before being seconded to London to oversee the transition of Melody Radio to Magic 105.4.

He went on to become Broadcast Director, responsible for the output of all 18 Emap services but by the turn of the decade he was back on air in the Northwest at Chester's Dee 106.3 before joining Smooth's predecessor Jazz FM for a Sunday morning show.

In his spare time, Dave enjoys cooking and entertaining guests with his culinary fare. To date, nobody has been seriously ill, despite Dave's love of experimenting in the kitchen! If you get the chance, try his carrot and pineapple muffins!

Dave presents on Smooth Radio from midnight Saturdays and Sundays.
