The Night Train®

This week was a bit of an anomaly... neither of us knew what the other one picked for each hour. It's not that we plan the show (can you tell?), just give each other heads-up on what we're playing. Not sure that's happened since way back in March. Luckily, we didn't both pick the same songs to play. Even better, we both enjoyed each others hour. Remember! You can also get in touch to ask for reque...

This week in community radio... we mixed it up again! For no reason and completely unplanned, we both decided to do a bit of a theme hour. Hour one sees Paul dig into his extensive record collection to give an airing to the purchases he's managed to sneak past his better half. Hour two is a much more low-key affair with Steve playing downtempo music in the style of Kid Koala's "Music to Draw To" s...

It's pre-record BAU this week as Paul has returned from the west and Steve has returned from the east! There's no guest mix, the self indulgence was toned back so it's just 2 hours of great music, hot chat and a great mini-set of mid-2000s glitchy-electronica.  Point of note this week, both of us have realised we can put a jazzy effect on the mic when we do our links. Pay close attention and...

This week for reasons best known to himself, Steve decided to do ANOTHER solo show. Paul was on holiday (tune in next week to hear about that) so we couldn't leave you with nothing! It's a pretty normal affair until you make it to hour two... then Steve hands over the Sheffield Live airwaves to himself for a 30 minute guest mix of mean psychedelic-guitar-fuzz action. Sorry this upload is a day lat...

These pre-records are a strange beast, a real game of two halves and other cliches. This week is no different. This week sounded like two very different shows, hour one sounds somewhat like an hour two and hour two sounds a bit like an hour one. Anyway, you can be the judge of that when you listen for yourselves! Let us know if the show is any good. You can also get in touch to ask for request or...

That's right! For (hopefully) one week only, Steve ditches the deadweight and soars with a solo show. It's been a minute since he's been trusted to take the reins on his own so the pressure is always on when left to his own devices. As you expect with a 2hr show from Steve, it's got; - Instagram obsessions - Talk about 20 year old radio shows - Mindless rambling about songs that is low on facts He...

We are totally gettin' in the groove now. It's been a few weeks but this show could be proof that we (somewhat) know what we're doin' with these pre-records. This week, tune-in to hear about Paul's drink of choice and Steve's current obsessions amongst other things! Also, don't want to big it up but these could be some of our most cohesive links yet. Let us know if the show is any good. You can al...

pologies for this being a day late! Hopefully it's meant you guys have been chompin' at the bit to hear what The Night Train has to offer for show 203. Well, it's all solid gold all the way down the line with the unique blend of music from across the ages that only we can deliver*. Let us know if the show is any good. You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at nighttrain93.2[at]g...

This show might contain some of the best links since we were in a studio. While that's not sayin' a lot, it's still pretty exciting. There's also new songs, old songs, a kinda mini-mix and tales of lockdown adventures. We say this each week but nobody does, so we're gonna write it in capital letters... LET US KNOW IF THE SHOW IS ANY GOOD BY GETTING IN TOUCH! LINES OF COMMUNICATION ARE OPEN FOR REQ...

After the excitement of the last few weeks, it's back to the grind with a standard show! Press play to enjoy some standard fayre from The Night Train. I'm hungover today so can't really work out anything witty to say so I'm just gonna publish the show.... Let us know if the show is any good. You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www...

This is our 200th show on Sheffield Live. We were talking about what we were going to do to celebrate this milestone. Usually, we’d be doing another oddball show but it didn’t sit right with us. A couple of weeks ago, for show 198, we did a show called “Rhythms of Resistance”, songs that spoke to protest, struggle and change. Those with a keener ear might have noticed we only played one song from...

So this is another great show in the pantheon of The Night Train. Powlo takes the 1st hour, Steve brings it all home for hour 2. The usual stuff, anniversary cuts, random waffle and a varied selection of genres for 2 hours. Let us know if the show is any good.

This week, more than ever, we have been watching the news, trying to work out what we can do with our platform. It’s only modest but staying silent in these times isn’t an option, so tonight’s show is going to be a bit different. Regular listeners will know that music from the African diaspora runs throughout this show. Whether it’s from the spirit of Congo Square, sound system culture of Jamaica,...

nother show in two parts. P kicks things off and S brings it home. In terms of music, this is a like a classic TNT (aka it's all over the shop). Usual mix though of old and new, strange and straightforward. Let us know if the show is any good. You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets. To ex...

Back in the saddle with another 2 hours of quality entertainment! Hear about our latest pointless album challenge and what we've been listening to. We didn't get 'round to doin' the tweeted tracklisting for this last night, it did go out on air, honest! Let us know if the show is any good. You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://twitt...

This week sees the return of both of us to our respective studios to bring 2 hours of (quality) entertainment. This week, it's a bit of a sombre tone as there are lots of tribute tracks to people that are now swirling in the heavens. 1st set this week is a Little Richard tribute mix as is only fitting. Rest of the show it taken up with old stuff, new stuff and a bunch of other stuff! Let us know i...

A rare solo outing for Steve this week as the chores at home meant Paul had to sit this one. Of course, this might mean that you're not into the show as you prefer his picks to Steve's... and that's fine. He's picked some stuff from old shows and plenty of stuff that's been kickin' around the "songsToBePlayed" folder. Due to the show being pre-recorded, there's no mention of folks that sadly passe...

What's this?!? Another guest mix?!? You're darn tootin'. We're not messing around any more. Serious radio business from now on! This week the mix is from Syke. He's the presenter on Restless, which you can catch on Exeter’s Phonic FM – it goes out every third Saturday of the month from 10-12pm. Catch his past shows here: https://www.mixcloud.com/simon-stennett/ His mix is "the loudest, fastest and...

t's the welcome return of your friend and ours, Cool Willie D! He did a guest mix for us a few years ago but this time we've managed to get a nice D&B one off him! That comes up in hour two, before that you've got the usual goodness. Now, more than ever, we need your helps to make the show! You can get in touch with requests, recommendations, suggestions, stories or just an old fasioned shout-...

We were kind temped to upload this before the show had even gone out. The concern was that it was break the space-time continuum. The downside of that woud be no more late night radio shows! Anyway, the new format rolls on. 2 blokes recording an hour of music in their spare rooms. This week, hour 1 is (sorta) picked by The Long Suffering Alma. If you enjoy the show, make sure you tell her the tune...

This is it folks, the 1st guest mix of the Pre-Record world! We handed the airwaves over to Amy le Crunch to spin her 7 by Seven mix. Remember!

To experience the show (sorta) live n direct.. tune into Sheffield Live, Sundays 9pm-11pm on 93.2FM, via the TuneIn Radio App or www...

Part 2 of our "TNT tip o' the hat" to Massive Attack's album, Blue Lines. This the 2nd hour, sans hot chat, for your listening pleasure.

Sitting in the sun today, listentening to a Horace Andy gig Manchester's Band on the Wall were streaming, we got to thinking about his relationship with Massive Attack. A quick look online and we saw that Blue Lines was released 19 years ago today! Many moons ago, we made a tribute show that we thought was pretty good. Turns out, if you take away our chat, it was one of our best. So today we're up...

For our first attempt at a 2hr show, we thought we'd rely on the ol' "tenuous theme" to steer the good ship TNT. This week, as it's the start of the new tax year, we're bringing you a money special! All songs about money, for 2 hours. Let us know if the show is any good.

All aboard the Lockdown Session! Pre-recorded in Powlo's studio B (spare Bedroom), we power through an hour of killer afro/latin/funk/soul/psych/beats in an effort to keep on keepin' on.... In this show: - Birthday cut from Brazilian legend Jorge Ben. - Mini tribute mix of the late great Cameroonian Manu Dibango's music. - Brand new releases from Quantic's Selva label and some fresh heat from Smoo...
