A LOCAL man is celebrating after winning Down Community Radio FM105’s launch draw last month.

Donavan Hagen, from Downpatrick, was the lucky winner of a Lowden-Sheeran six-string guitar kindly donated by George Lowden of Lowden Guitars.

Donavan visited Down Community Radio recently to say a few words on air while he was presented with the prized guitar.

Gareth McDowell, chair of Down Community Radio said the team were “delighted” that Donavan had won. 

“On behalf of the station I’d like to thank everyone who supported the draw and a special thank you again to George Lowden for his kind generosity,” he said.

“Our community radio station is now up and running after several months of sorting out our premises, equipment, licences and many other things.

“We are looking forward to presenting a range of programmes going forward here at our base in The Saint Patrick Centre in Downpatrick.”
