Chris Birks

Join Chris Birks every weekday from 10am with the music Derby loves and far too much coffee.

A proud local lad, Chris is old enough to remember when the Assembly Rooms was the place for a big night out, and still calls it the Eagle Centre no matter how many times they change the name. 

A familiar voice to the city after stints on two other Derby stations, Chris feels right at home on DerbyONE, sharing his love for the city and the people who make it so unique. 

When he’s not busy getting lost on the inner ring road, you’ll usually find him in one of Derby’s coffee shops, pretending it’s “research” for the show, or sitting in Osnabruck Square stuffing an a Elephant’s Foot into his face.
