We provide a radio service to the patients of The Ipswich Hospital, via the Hospedia System in hospital, and online through our website, and the TuneIn radio app and on smart speaker. We are run entirely by volunteers and rely on donations and fundraising to provide the money we need to keep going. If you are interested in joining us we are always looking for people who are willing to commit to he

Good morning from a snowy Ipswich.

Foz will be on Hospital Radio Ipswich and ICR FM on 105.7fm tonight at 8 with his Monday Music Mix.

Triple plays from Blondie in celebration of Chris Stein’s birthday, The New Seekers whose singer Eve Graham has been made an MBE and Bruce Springsteen on the 53rd anniversary of the release of his debut LP.

His featured album comes from Joe Bonamassa and there’s a little treat for Pink Floyd fans.

Hope you can join him later.

There’s a theme to this week’s ‘Sunday Breakfast. Probably the coolest instrument there is: the saxophone!

Most of the tracks in the show will feature great saxophone solos: I wonder how many you can guess?

Plus, requests from the wards, Word of the Day and Nature Watch. And anything else that pops into Rick’s head throughout the show (good luck second guessing any of that)!

Sunday morning, 8 to 10; looking forward to keeping you company.
