From a young age I always knew that I wanted to work on The Television and Radio. As A Motoring Journalist Journalist and Radio DJ I was invited down to London for a weeks work Experience with WhatCar and AutoCar Magazine where I edited Car Reviews and pictures which I then uploaded onto their website, after that I was invited onto my local community Radio Station 103 the Eye to talk about my experience, then they offered me a weekly slot to present a motoring show every Friday from 1-3pm. Whilst still presenting with 103 the Eye I also started presenting and doing my own show on Leicester’s Takeover Radio which I still do. You can find me now presenting on Hospital Radio which I love doing like on the other stations which I still do shows for. As I want to expand onto the Television and Radio (NHR) is broadcasted out onto a much bigger scale so it helps me to get my name out there and also helps me to get too where I want to go.

I have always had a love for cars as well and have been very lucky to drive/review some of the most prestigious cars in the world from; Rolls-Royce too Bentley’s. I have a YouTube channel called Cormac on cars where I upload car reviews. At the end of last year (2020) I bought my first Rolls-Royce a 1989 Silver Spirit 11 after making a video review of my which I uploaded to YouTube I was then asked to write some articles for Two Rolls-Royce Magazines ;Spirit and Speed, Rolls-Royce and Bentley Driver. Where my article’s were published.

I hope you enjoy listening to the music I play here on NHR.

Christopher is a lifelong Derby supporter. He recalls his first game being a pre season friendly against CSKA Moscow in 1997, when the Rams were managed by the legendary “Bald Eagle”, Jim Smith.
He once had ambitions to be a goalkeeper like his idol, Derby’s Estonian giant Mart Poom.
Chris is a keen football programme collector and even has a few Forest ones in his set now, as he regularly crosses over to “the other side” as part of his NHR duties. That’s commitment for you!

Since the age of 10, Ian’s dream was to be a sports reporter…..specifically football, and even more specifically, Notts County!
He’s been a hospital radio volunteer since 2012, at both Nottingham and Leeds, and rates it – along with his degree in Sport Journalism – as the best thing he’s ever done.
Ian says commentating on England cricket and England Rugby League; at Headingley, Trent Bridge, Elland Road and Meadow Lane , is doing what he was born to do and living his life’s dream!

Mark is a life long Notts County fan, who now spends his spare time covering the magpies for NHR.  Occasional visits to the red side of the Trent mean he is our resident roving reported for all things Nottingham football.  A role he has been sentenced to for the last 6 years.  Outside of commentating, Mark can also be heard on match days giving his thoughts on the football kits of today.  Gog Wan meets Barry Davies

Richard Smith is in his second spell as lead commentator for NHR at Notts County. Richard spent 4 years working in the old Main Stand at Meadow Lane during the Neil Warnock era in the late 80s, early 90s and in that time had the pleasure of bringing some of the atmosphere and joy of some historic Notts County victories at the old Wembley stadium to our listeners.
Even though he now lives in Lancashire, his commitment to covering The Magpies on a regular basis knows no bounds with frequent visits to both home and away matches.
Richard also occasionally commentates on The Reds as well as the occasional cricket match at Trent Bridge but more frequently at Emirates Old Trafford on Lancashire for our colleagues at Preston Hospital Radio.

I started doing hospital radio in 1979 at the City Hospital when it was called Radio City. I rejoined Nottingham Hospitals’ Radio in 1999 and my first show was in 2000. This means that I have now been here over 20 years. The year 2020 will see me completing my 20th year on the Sunday morning show.

I love presenting and producing my show and always look forward to what the guests on my show might say. I love to surprise them and they, more often than not always seem to surprise me with what they come out with.

Since joining NHR in January 2000, I have had an absolute ball – gaining so much on so many levels. A regular on request shows and sports commentaries over the years, learning the art of radio presenting has also given me the confidence to develop my skills as a professional voiceover artist. I’ve enjoyed getting involved in most other activities at the station, too – from fundraising at exciting outdoor events like our traditional Robin Hood Half-Marathon Bed-push (even dressed up as Elvis one year!), to striking up conversations with patients, visitors and staff on the wards – mainly to badger them for their favourite requests – but also to practise my impressions on them! Seriously, though, it’s that personal interaction with our audience that has always felt like one of the most important and rewarding parts of the NHR experience for me – together with the many friendships made over the years. Long live Nottingham Hospitals’ Radio!”
