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.
I grew up in the 1950’s where music was played for people to get up and dance to. This stayed with me through all the decades especially when I was a mobile DJ playing the music that people wanted to dance to or just sit and enjoy; therefore my taste in music is very diverse, […]
Mehtab Culling. I am a Psychotherapist with a background in teaching (science) and lecturing (counselling courses). Also, a singer-song writer and released my first song “Quirky Love” to raise money for mental health in young people. So, I guess you could say I am a Singing Psychotherapist! I have delivered workshops at a local, regional, and national level on social and emotional needs, on managing emotions, and on environmental and social justice issues. I have organised and run some high-profile events on the above issues, where the guests included local dignitaries, the events receiving media coverage.
In a dimly lit studio deep in the vaults of Bedford Hospital, a radio presenter sits with a pile of your favourite night-time music. Here to keep you company through the wee small hours, whether you are a night owl or on the night shift. Join Ian Brown for the Early Jukebox on Hospital Radio […]
I’m Geoff Clark, I’m the current Treasurer of Bedfordshire Health Radio the charity that runs Hospital Radio Bedford. I’ve been involved with HRB since the late 1970’s but had a large gap in the middle due to work and family commitments, so have been involved for about 20 active years. As well as broadcasting I’ve been involved in the management of the organisation holding posts such as Secretary, Programmes Manager and Chairman of Trustees. From a broadcasting perspective I’ve produced music specific genres such as Motown Specials, but also news-based programs that keep the patients informed. I am particularly keen to promote program structure and content with members new to broadcasting, it’s important that we think about what the patient wants to listen to and not just play music we like.
Chris Jones aka CJ has been with HRB for 2.5 years and started as support to the IT team with Ronnie and Dave. I have now taken over as lead IT support with the support of Ronnie and Dave.

I am running two dance clubs in the area Illumination Dance and DanceXcess which have been running for the last 18 years.
