Trevor Adams
Trevor joined in 2003. Having reached a 'certain age' - OK, 50 - he decided it was time to do all the things he had wanted to do but hadn't managed. As lack of money precluded most and being a presenter on HRTW was a low cost option, an ambition held since the arrival of the pirate radio ships in the sixties had been fulfilled. Having become a hospital radio presenter, Trevor loves presenting magazine format shows with lots of news of what's happening in the local community. He finds his hospital radio work makes a refreshing change to his day job in the insurance industry. Trevor also has an interest in classic cars and although he enjoys all types of music, his preference is for rock from the sixties and seventies. Stuck in a time warp? Not 'arf, pop pickers!

David Boyle
Born in 1965, and brought up on a farm, David's pram was often at the side of the hop garden with the radio blaring Beatles , Bee Gees , Abba, all the great classics that he now plays to entertain others. He enjoyed a childhood of fun and mischief and doing all the things that we don't allow children to do these days. David became a Christian at an early age and is now an officer in the local Salvation Army. He learned to play the guitar at 14 (and is still learning at 40+). He and his then girl-friend and some others decided to form a Christian Rock band which played for many entertaining concerts, some of the more memorable with an over 60s choir (best not to ask). After marriage and 2 wonderful children, the band was replaced with the successful " Epicentre Sounds Disco" which he runs with his wife and brother. David is always happy to fit Hospital Radio into a busy schedule and enjoys his shows, also helping out with training new presenters whenever needed. He loves doing outside broadcasts and gets a buzz from meeting the people he has entertained.

Stuart Boyle
From an early age Stuart has been a music fanatic, known among friends as the "Sad Music Muppet", Stuart enjoys all forms of music be that playing live music as a drummer in concert and blues bands or on Hospital Radio. Alongside his brother David, Stuart is deeply involved with the Salvation Army. Stuart has worked in the care industry for many years and his aim in life is to bring a little happiness into people's lives through music. All his shows include music facts from the Sad, Music Muppet.

Rosemary Brooks
Rosemary retired two years ago after working for many years as an Infant School Secretary. Finding herself at a loose end after doing a 6 month "around the world trip", she saw an article in the local press asking for volunteers to join Hospital Radio Tunbridge Wells. The rest, as they say, is history. Rosemary enjoys meeting and chatting with patients on her request round. In addition to Hospital Radio, Rosemary fills her time with gardening, line-dancing, cooking and travelling.

Diane Clarke
Some long time ago Diane trained as a nurse and midwife at the Kent and Sussex and Pembury Hospitals and so in many ways life has come full circle by being involved with Hospital Radio. She joined in July 2002 and after one year served the next two as Secretary then became the Station Manager. She has won bronze, silver and gold awards for Female Hospital Radio Presenter of the Year in the Hospital Broadcasting Association awards. She enjoys reading, writing, and the pleasures of family life.

Paul Conquest

Vince Cox
The original tall, dark handsome presenter (well two out of three isn’t bad), Vince has been a member of HRTW since 1993. He is one half of the popular local duo The Chalybeates playing all over the South East. He’s a huge fan of John Denver but has a very varied taste in music, from Roger Whittaker to Motorhead, yes that diverse! A little bit of everything. Amongst his pet hates are drivers who park their cars in ridiculously dangerous and inconsiderate places. Double Yellow lines are there for a reason!!

Will Dove

Will Dunn
Will has been a member since 1997 and, over the years has turned his hand to a variety of jobs at the station including the role of Technical Officer and very occasionally, talented presenter. It is his rather dubious responsibility to look after all the computer systems at the station. He lives by the simple rule that if it has a monitor attached to it, he can probably fix it, if not give it to a real engineer. Will listens to almost anything but chooses to draw the line at manufactured pop nonsense.

Anna Dunn

Charlotte Evans
Charlotte joined hospital radio in the summer of 2007 after leaving University where she had been a presenter on "Sin Radio". Having read an article in the local newspaper about Hospital Radio Tunbridge Wells she decided to join. Charlotte enjoys meeting and talking with patients on her request collecting visits as well as presenting the shows. Charlotte also enjoys taking part in the fundraising aspect of the station during the outside broadcasts and collecting events. Charlotte fills her remaining spare time with salsa dancing, going to the gym, travelling and reading.

Tim Godsalve
Tim joined HRTW in May 2005 and has been involved in several shows including the Sound Spectrum, the Sunday Extra sport show and Saturday Action. He is also a member of our Cricket commentary team during cricket week at The Nevill. He thinks he is the next Henry Blofeld because he keeps mentioning pigeons and yellow trucks going by the ground. He loves sport,dance music,DJ’ing and comedy and always likes to inject a little humour into his shows. He has always loved radio and has always had some sort of radio studio set up at home since he was a youngster.

Arthur Hosmer
Following an appeal for 'sound help' in a local newspaper and having over 40 years experience with public address equipment, Arthur visited the studios on an open day in 2000 and was offered membership as an engineering assistant. As time progressed, he became a station engineer on the committee responsible for studio equipment and the outside broadcasting equipment at fund raising events.

Brian Johnson
Cup of tea, Love?" Yawning, you sit up as the nurse plumps your pillow. Then it hits you. There's a whole day ahead and very little to do except wait for the newspaper trolley and, perhaps, look forward to the afternoon or evening's visitors. During stays in the local hospitals, Brian felt the mornings needed brightening upand that’s why he became one of the breakfast show presenters. Brian includes items from the newspapers,features and conversation, as well as music ranging from Snow Patrol to Sinatra Crosby to Coldplay and the Beatles to Beyonce. Brian who has presented shows on the station for 30 years relishes the early start. “it’s the best part of the day”, he says.

Chris Makey
Long gone are the days when Chris played Swap Shop and Blue Peter in his bedroom. He moved from T.V to Radio in that same bedroom in the 1980's and that's where it all started. His first obsession was with BBC Radio Kent. Barbara Sturgeon was the pin-up princess of the airwaves. When he's not earning on behalf of those fat cat's in the city of London, you can find him entertaining the patients live on the airwaves of Hospital Radio. He says that the picture doesn't do him justice. He looks far better on the radio!

Chris Manser
Chris joined hospital radio in 1981 and has become one of the most active members of the team in recent years, serving on the management committee as Publicity Officer, Programme Controller and Station Manager at various times. Apart from his love of music and radio, Chris is a keen TV viewer of Formula One and currently follows the fortunes of Jenson Button.and Lewis Hamilton. Chris also spends his spare time surfing the internet and has made several friends worldwide. He has a wide taste in music and looks after the station’s playlist system, which helps select much of the music you’re likely to hear on Hospital Radio Tunbridge Wells.

Paul Mcnally
Paul doesn't actually live in this country any more, but he's still a member of Hospital Radio Tunbridge Wells (yes, he loves this place so much... it's true). He's currently living in Paris, but you might catch him occasionally covering for absent presenters during the holidays, if you're lucky.

Joe Mendell
Joe Mendell joined HRTW in 2010. Joe emigrated to the UK in 1978 and now holds dual nationality. He served in the US Army in Korea (no, not during the Korean war…he was only 5 years old when it ended!!!) hence the nickname GIJoe. He is a qualified official in American Football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey. His interests include drama (he is an amateur actor/director), cinema, sports (supports Liverpool FC), and reading; he has even learned to play cricket! Joe’s slant on life is a little quirky and this is reflected in his shows on HRTW.

Phil Mills
Phil is one of the younger members of HRTW. It is quite easy to say likes the medium of radio a bit to much as he wants to eventually work in radio full time. Having joined HRTW in 2005, Phil has presented many shows and particularly enjoys going to the various outside broadcast events. Musically Phil is a big fan of most genres particularly from the eighties through to the present day.

Pete Moore
aka the Chunky Cowboy, Pete has a wide taste in music although his favourite is country. Becoming a radio presenter is the realisation of a life-long ambition, a dream that started during his school days in the sixties while listening to the pirate radio stations, such as Radio Caroline. Football and Line Dancing are Pete's other passions. He dances two or three nights a week and DJs on Tuesday evenings and occasionally at weekends, usually at charity fund raising events.

Jamie Norton

Terry O'brien

Les Rawlings
Les joined Hospital Radio in 1996. His claim to fame was becoming the most mature member of the station. He served in the Royal Signals and after demobilisation he rejoined the sound department at Denham Film Studios. In 1950, Les joined the Broadcasting Group of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office at Crowborough, retiring in 1986. He enjoys his time on air, talking to the patients, and also introduces new members to the studio as well as assisting with engineering problems.

Chris Reed
Chris became involved in hospital radio in 1973 through a conversation in Broadcasting House, where he worked on the production team of the BBC radio programme 'Late Night Extra'. Later that year, when London's Capital Radio was launched, he also became involved with the production of Tim Rice's programmes on the station, which more recently merited a (very brief) mention in Tim's autobiography 'Oh, What A Circus'. He joined the Tunbridge Wells team in 1978 and now presents our classical music programmes. Chris is the longest serving member of the station's management committee, having been its treasurer since 1982.

Claire Sampson
Claire joined the team in September 2007. She’s had a life long love of music of all genres. When she was young, she used to create radio tapes with her sister to play for each other on long car journeys, consisting of a bit of banter and some tunes copied from the top 40 at the time!! She found out about hospital radio by going onto the website, and thought it was a great thing to be a part of. Not only could she get involved with being a presenter and indulge her life-long love of music, but also she knew it would be helping out a fantastic organisation that can bring cheerfulness and hope to patients during their time in hospital. Claire particularly enjoys presenting a request show, as it enables her to play a wide range of music. Many of the songs the patients choose are new to her and she often falls in love with the songs, there’s also a great challenge finding some of them when they vary from the norm. Away from the radio, Claire loves spending time with her husband, socialising with friends, reading, travelling and dancing. However, due to her love of dancing, she is partial to a bit of jigging around to some of the songs the patients request, thank goodness there is no web-cam in the studio!!

David Todd
David joined Hospital Radio Tunbridge Wells in Summer 2006 after graduating from University where he was a presenter on his campus radio station "Junction 11". After seeing an advert in the local newspaper, he decided to fulfil a long-held ambition and try his hand at Hospital Radio, and after just over a year of practising began presenting a regular show in early 2008. In his spare time David is a keen musician, and enjoys playing keyboards, both producing and writing music with friends. He enjoys both the technical side of presenting as well as fundraising at various outside broadcasts. But he does his best to avoid confusing listeners with his taste for obscure progressive music!

Matt Ward
Matt joined hospital radio after reading an article in the local paper in 2005. He enjoys presenting request shows and aspires one day to be a professional presenter . Matt is also involved with St John Ambulance assisting in the running of Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Cadet Divisions teaching first aid and care to young people aged 11 to 18.

James Webb

Lucy Willis

Chris Woodward
Chris has always been keen on radio broadcasting but it was not until 2003 that he had the time available to become involved with HRTW. Chris loves presenting shows and he really enjoys researching the various features included in his shows. He aims to include a variety of topics, which hopefully the listeners will find interesting and entertaining. Chris also employs his keen interest in sports by helping to produce and present sports shows. He is also involved in presenting cricket coverage from Tunbridge Wells cricket week. Apart from sport Chris has a number of other interests including flying light aeroplanes, motorcycling and playing the guitar.
