Every week NHR takes you for a trip to the theatre with front row seats for your ears to experience the best music from the musicals and musical theatre in a sixty minute show called “Now That’s What I Call A Musical”. We’ll educate with some facts about the musicals, the actors, the story and trivia, and then spotlight one of the pieces from the soundtrack to entertain you. A dozen or so musicals every week covering 100 years of marvellous, magical and modern musical masterpieces. Every Wednesday 8pm till 9pm. Let me entertain you and hopefully make you feel less miserables with SIXty minutes with the stars and music from the wonderful West End to your local theatre around the corner shows.

Anchored off the Essex coast and free of government control, Caroline (and the offshore radio stations that followed in her footsteps over the next few years) gave the British Radio Listeners a complete transformation in their radio landscape. In place of the limited pop music choice offered by the BBC Light Programme, listeners learned to love Offshore Radio Stations such as Radio Caroline, Radio London, Swinging Radio England, Radio 270 and many more.
Exactly 60 years on, join me, Mark Stafford, for “Please Don’t Take Them Away – The Story Of The Great British Pirate Era” as we revisit the Swinging 60’s and tell the full story of those great radio days along with a soundtrack of the wonderful music of the era.
Along the way Dave Cash, Robbie Dale, Tony Prince, Roger “Twiggy” Day, Don Allen, Johnnie Walker, John Peel and more will tell us exactly what life was like breaking all the rules in a life at sea.

On the evening of Saturday 2nd March, at St Peter’s Church in Ruddington, The Boots Orchestra performed a charity concert of French classical music, in aid of Nottingham Hospitals’ Radio – kicking off NHR’s 50th Anniversary events for this special celebration year.
Despite wet and wintry conditions, the event was well-attended, and the concert itself was a great success.
This was the third time that Boots Orchestra had played in support of NHR, following previous concerts in 2015 and 2019. We would like to thank all who took part and helped to make it such a special night.
The event raised a fantastic total of £558.40 for NHR.
