The Night Train®

Evenin’ all. Spring is here, the days are getting longer and things are heating up in the studio. This week there’s nothing important to report or explain about the show. It’s back to the classic formula with the two of us and music we’ve been listening to that we think you should listen to. As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/r...

This week, the tire/tried format has been thrown out the window to keep you on your toes. It's got all the usual goodness you'd expect from the show but the order will keep you guessing! The important thing is you can trust that it's 2 hours of solid gold music with some questionable chat in-between that isn't all about The Beatles! As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest...

We’re as surprised as you are to see this show in the feed on a Tuesday. This show had a Wednesday upload written all over it. Blame Steve, he’s doing the Beatles album challenge. Don’t ask him about it. It’s all he’s thinking about. Press play on this show to enjoy tales from our night out to SADACCA, hot new promo ‘ish and some other assorted odds and ends. As always, get in touch with requests,...

This show is a double tribute show for Gwen McCrae and Roy Ayers. Do we have lots of great tales? No. Do we have lots of insightful knowledge about their impact on music? Also no. BUT, we’ve done a pretty good job of picking the songs and the songs that sampled the songs. So it’s a pretty good show, even if we say so. As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!...

It’s Tuesday. It’s gone 8pm. There’s chores we should both be doing, but instead, the biggest chore of them all has to be completed… The upload for the Listen Again Crew®. This week there’s tour news, hot new releases, an anniversary cut and an extended riddim mix. There may or may not be a (live) show on Sunday as we’re out on Saturday Night Manoeuvres. If we don’t go into the station, we’ll hit...

Afternoon all. Sunday saw us (finally) back in the studio after a couple of weeks off. Have you missed us? It was a standard show to ease us back into doing what we love to do. Steve will admit that the show is all over the place. He’s a bit rusty. That means there’s hour 2 tunes in hour 1. Please don’t be mad. Perhaps we should mix it up more often. Don’t want to get stale(r). As always, get in t...

Evenin' all. There wasn't a show last night as we went to watch Caribou. It was ace. Now normally we'd upload a show for the folks that listen on podcasts apps but this week is different. We've found an old show in the archive that's not been uploaded before! Now, some of you will think "this show should have stayed lost in the depths of cloud storage" as it's a show made up of 6 x 20 minute songs...

Good evening. It’s February 4th 2025 and it’s a Wednesday. Here in Sheffield it’s a chilly 6°C. This show is our tribute to David Lynch, who passed a few weeks ago. Not a lot else to say about it to be honest.  There isn’t going to be any new shows for the next couple of weeks as we’re at other engagements but we’ll hopefully be uploading something for your listening pleasure to tide you over...

Evening all. Hope you’re all well on this Wednesday. It appears that we’ve not managed a regular upload day for the show for a while. Does that mess up your routine? Probably not. Not sure how many people are patiently waiting for the upload. If you are, thanks for being patient. It’s a standard show this week, well, that’s not actually true. This show has a pretty high percentage of music from th...

Hi Everybody! Finally, a show for 2025. We dragged our sorry asses into the studio to present Vol 2 of “Reasons Why We’re Skint”. 2 hours of records we purchased last year. As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, they’re also available for family functions,...

Evenin’ all. Just in time for Christmas Day, here’s the latest instalment of our little ol’ show. This week, it’s an extra special edition… TNT x Singles Night. We invited Singles Night Head Honcho Ben aka DJ Netflix & Chill and Singles Night stalwart Clumsy Drops to spin a couple of killer sets for the show. We’ve also dusted off the 45s we played at the night. Hopefully we’ll be back next we...

Afternoon all. Your intrepid hosts are busy so it’s fallen to me, one of the shadowy Executive Producers to do the upload for you. This week, they played records they purchased in 2024, as is tradition. If things go according to play, they’ll (hopefully) be back on Sunday for show #377 and some Singles Night Shenanigans. As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquirie...

Here it is. The show few people want, another weirdo show! Volume 11 of our Oddball Purge. 2 hours of challenging music. At one point in the studio, one of us said “we’ve left the realms of what can be classified as music.” So there’s that to look forward to! Next week we’ll be showing off our purchases from the year, which is always fun. Doing it a bit differently as the mixer in the studio is br...

Happy Thursday everyone! Another week, another late show. Thing is, are any of The Listen Again Crew up to date with all the old shows? Possibly. If you are, sorry this is coming so late in the week. Pretty much a normal show this week. Only difference is that Steve wanted to play some discomixes. So we did. That’s in the middle. Perfect if you like reggae, a tough listen if you don’t. Enjoy! We’r...

2 people. Playing records while tired. Some of the mixes are good, some of them are not so good. The selection is all killer though so it’s worth uploading. It does finish abruptly so don’t be alarmed. Shout-out to the Sunday Night Listeners, you heard it all! As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app...

What a week. We’ll be honest, we’d kinda forgotten that we hadn’t uploaded the show. Once again, we’re thinking “we should just do it on Sunday night when we get home”. Perhaps we will this week. Keep your eyes peeled. This show has got us playing some music but more importantly, it’s got a Studio One 45s Guest Mix from Rob BD6. It’s a doozy so we’ll probably upload it clean at some point so you c...

Look. It’s not our fault this upload has taken so long. It genuinely was out of our hands. We’re not gonna apologise either. If you tuned in on a Sunday, you’d have already heard it by now! Anyway, that’s way more confrontational than is probably needed. This week, we’re debriefing after a busy October. Hear about what we’ve been up to and what we’ve been listening to. We’re back on Sunday with a...

Alright folks? Hope you’re well. Hope your pets are doing OK. It’s Guy Fawkes Night here in England so that means plenty of fireworks. Not too dissimilar to our very first show 9 years ago. We thought for our birthday we’d play some normal music. Hits, some might say. And SPOILER ALERT no drones. We know, we’ve shocked ourselves. Have we sold out? Does it matter? Will a poppier sound make us more...

As we are on the cusp of celebrating 9 years of amazing broadcasts on Community Radio, we thought we'd give you a "treat" for this week and upload the very first show. Marvel at how far we've come as "broadcasters". Not sure we've listened back to this since we did the upload waaaaaaay back. Hope it's not too bad. We'll be back in the studio on Sunday with a reports from our weekend in Manchester,...

Howdy folks. You’re in for a TREAT with this show. That’s because we sourced a SMOKIN’ guest mix of Colombian Heat from friend of the show, Phillie B. The rest of the show isn’t too shabby either, with a nice blend of old music, new music and some new old music. Probably won’t be a live show on Sunday as we’re on extensive party manoeuvres this weekend so we’ll be tucked up in bed. Get in touch wi...

Back in the studio, no records, just music and hot chat. Press play to hear about what we’ve been up to (party manoeuvres), where we’ve been (Belgium), what we’ve Shazamed etc etc etc. I’m tired so I can’t elaborate much more. I want to go to bed. Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.c...

Howdy folks. Apologies for leaving you without a show for the last two weeks. We had hoped to line-up a little bonus episode from another show we like but that’ll have to wait for another time. This week’s show is an “All 45s Live” special! We’ve raided the racks and somehow pulled out a pretty good show. Even if we do say so ourselves. Each set has a theme so it’s pretty cohesive. A rarity for us...

Evenin’ all. Here’s Sunday’s show. It’s a bit late but we think it’s worth the wait. It’s a “normal” show, nothing too out of the ordinary but we’re pretty proud of it. Even better, there’s a bonus song for you, the listen again crew. Don’t say we do nothing for you. All being well, we’ll be back in the studio on Sunday for show #367 which means we’ll be playing 7” records. Get in touch with reque...
