HRB Live Ian Griffiths / Presenter
I’m Ian Griffiths, current Chairman of Hospital Radio Bedford. Whilst I’m not actively presenting live on HRB, I am working behind the scenes to build and promote the station and raise much needed funds to keep us afloat.
I’d like to welcome our new members and ask you to be more than just a “Presenter” we need each and every one you to get involved with the running of the station and help with the different Committee positions. Perhaps offer to become a ‘Deputy’ to one of the roles?
There is no hierarchy or league tables on my watch. We are all here for the one purpose, “To entertain and inform the Patients and Staff of Bedford Hospital”
We intend to attend more Outside Broadcasts in the coming months including two Recruitment and Awareness days to be held in the Harpur Centre, Bedford.
The first is scheduled for Saturday 21st October and the second on Saturday 18th November both will be 11am to 4pm.
It would be fantastic if you could come and join us and experience the fun of Outside Broadcasting and to meet more of the HRB team.
I moved to Sharnbrook In 1981 I started working at Bedford Hospital South Wing as a Porter and Barber, I worked here for just under two years and then opened a barbershop on Elstow Road, I then became a rep selling hair and beauty products. I then moved to a specialist film processor manufacturer in Leighton Buzzard.
My passion had always been photography and so long story short In 1998 I started a digital event photography business Event-Photos.co.uk that still runs today.
My Radio life has been quite short amongst some of the big hitters here on HRB at just 7 years.
Although in that time I started on Black cat Radio in St. Neots, then Joined HRB, left Black cat and started my own station Beat Route Radio in Northamptonshire, I was well and truly bitten by the radio bug, it can be so addictive.

Matt Walker. I've always wanted to get into radio as I felt inspired by local Rock radios such as Absolute Radio, Kerrang and Zane Lowe. He used to broadcast on Radio 1. I enjoy the comfort of having my own space to chat, I also have a YouTube channel titled Walker Reviews. It's where I talk about Movies, video games, and music. Mark Kermode is a film critic I like to follow and I feel inspired by what he talks about.
