The Night Train®

You know the drill… one of us messages the other one with a daft idea for a show. We decide (against our better judgment) to make the show. We then overthink the show. Then make the show in a hurry. Then we’re really proud of the show! This week, it’s Amen and Amens. An hour of tunes with the Amen Break, then an hour of Gospel. Seemed like a funny idea at the time. Hope you enjoy it! If you like w...

Mornin' all. Back to 2018 for this "classic" episode. No show from us yesterday but we're aiming to be back this weekend with a special show. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We often get told "the stuff you play is weird, play some normal music". Well, your prayers have been answered! This week we're playing nothin' but songs that have made it onto the UK T...

Howdy folks. Steve here. I did a show last night and it turned out pretty good so I'm sharing it with you lot. It was all wax, but not only that, it was all coloured vinyl. The mixing is ropey, some of that is the decks, some of that was me. I also accidentally had a mic on for the 1st hour of the show so there's a good chance you can hear me dancing around and possibly swearing. Speaking of which...

Summer is ere' an' we’re buzzin’. Shorts in the studio, hot tunes on the airwaves and delectable chat into the mics. This week we discuss old shows, other people’s shows, what we’re doing next week, what we did last week and a possible world exclusive. If you like what you hear, join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org...

This week we welcome Jersey resident Corey Mastrangelo to TNT! He’s provided us with a great guest mix that frankly, saved the show. We do OK in picking the music either side of his mix but really, if it wasn’t for his input, we’d be struggling. If you like what you hear, join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org Get in...

The stage was set… it’s a Bank Holiday, next week is the latest instalment of HOTWAX at Hagglers Corner, so we might as well do a bit of cross-promotion. Alas, at the last minute something scuppered that plan so you lot get this instead… a hastily put together show of Steve spinnin’ his 45s. There’s a bit of thought put into it so it’s not a train wreck. As one regular listener put it “I'm margina...

Bank Holiday Show. All songs, 3 minutes or less. Studio merriment. Enjoy!

Howdy folks. This week we play a few twinspins, a gig report but more importantly... a smokin’ guestmix from Toronto Soul Club’s DJ Nico! She’s delivered 30-ish minutes of non-stop Canadian heat on 45s. Catch her on a different station to us (link in the notes) when her show comes back this month. If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via t...

Two of us, back in the studio, doing what we do “best”… top quality community radio containing great songs and questionable research! In this show, we touch on Louie Louie and the legacy of Jah Shaka. If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest...

Afternoon. There was a show last night but sometimes, radio should be ephemeral* so instead of posting that show, we've uploaded this "classic" show from the vaults** ----------------------------------------------------------- To celebrate the long weekend here in the UK, we've put together a special show that's bereft of secular music. It's often said that the devil has the best music, this show...

The thing about this show is… even when we’re trying to put as much effort in as possible, the universe tries to conspire against us to make us look shambolic! Luckily, you lot are the best and don’t really seem to care/just ignore the shambolic parts of The Night Train. So, here it is. Show 307. Victory from the jaws of defeat. Hear reports from gigs, walking, Pitsmoor manuvers and more! If you l...

Afternoon all. There wasn't a show last night due to reasons*. As you know by now, we don't like to leave you with nothing to listen to (and our show is timeless), we wanted to re-up a show from the archive. Hopefully we'll be back on the airwaves next weekend. ---SHOW BLURB FROM 2019--- It's the 1st guest mix of the year and to be honest we can't think of a better person to hand over the Sheffiel...

Yes, we actually dragged our sorry asses into the studio to actually do a show! Press play and listen to Steve rabbit on about his holiday and Paul play new music. If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries! We're also available...

Mornin' all! So, there wasn't a show last night for various reasons (tune in next week to find out why!) but we didn't want to leave you, the faithful member of the LAC (Listen Again Crew) without something to tide you over until next week. To keep your ears warmed we've delved into the archive (the shoebox of cassettes that Steve's hiding from The Long Suffering Alma in the cellar) to find a tape...

It’s another one of those weeks where we had to dedicate a large portion of the show to someone that’s now swirling in the stars. A big chunk of this show is dedicated to Trugoy The Dove from De La Soul who passed earlier this month. There is a bit extra in this show, where we do a gig report from our adventure to Nottingham to watch Brian Jonestown Massacre. Not sure there’ll be a show next week...

Greetings one and all! Apologies for gettin’ this uploaded late in the day. Still, better late than never we suppose. To be honest, were never really sure how many of you are sitting lookin’ at your phones waiting for a notification of our little ol’ show. Anyway, this week we’ve got a guest mix and tributes to 3 people that are swirling in the stars. Really though, it’s the guest mix that we’re m...

Barrett Strong, bassline synthesizers and sad songs! A show for the ages. It’s late so I can’t be bothered to write a long-ass blurb for this show.  If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!  We're also available for...

G’day Possums! What you’ve got here is the long awaited, much anticipated Night Train All Australia Special. Made with the help and input of a cast of hundreds on Twitter, we’ve tried to wade through all the suggestions to bring you two hours of top quality Antipodean audio gold. If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive. 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio Ap...

After (kinda) takin’ last week off, we’re back in the studio for more self-deprecating community radio. We cover a bit of ground, tell you a bit about last week’s show and generally play the killer mix of old and new music that you’ve come to know and love from TNT. If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheff...

In true TNT style, our big 300th show almost didn't happen. We touch upon it briefly but this show is all about the music. Mainly as we expected to play this show out without any input. The good thing about having to go into the studio to play it out is that we both had to listen to it. So we don't feel bad about making you listen to it. If you like what you hear join us live (almost) every Sunday...

Happy New Year everyone! 1st show of the year and it's a cracker. We decided that we'd make it a bit of an unofficial NYE after-party. Like when you finish up at the pub and pile into someone's kitchen to keep the night going. So tonight's picks weren't weird. They were rather good. Including some top 20 hits! If you're craving the oddities, tune in next week as it's gonna be weiRd... As always, d...

You know the drill. It's the end of the year so we get to show off the records we purchased. Don't expect many new jams, just great music. We're taking next week off (it's Christmas Day) but we'll be back for a NYE Afterparty on the 1st January. As always, don't forget to get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at; nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or  https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTra...

Afternoon all! Hope you're all well. We're still ridin' on a high after last night's show. What we've got here is 120(ish) minutes of rockin' 45 action. Powlo did all the (meaningful) work on the night, which is fine as he has great records and knows how to DJ. Apologies on some of the levels, we tried to fix it as best as possible in post but ultimately, Steve should have been watching for any re...

Due to Gareth and The Boys playin' on Sunday, there wasn't a show. Instead of leaving with nothing, here's a "classic" from the vaults. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Off the cuff all 7" vinyl special. No Steve this week, so Paul came in solo armed with a large bag of 45s left over from the previous show. A couple of skips here and there - it's a live rad...

The older we get, the harder it is to do a late-night radio show. Lawd knows how we used to do an 11pm-1am show on a weeknight. Madness. This week, Steve is flaggin’ a bit so we start well but it runs outta steam somewhat. Apologies. If someone could tell us the optimum time to have some caffeine that keeps us awake for the show but is over by 11:30, that’d be swell. So, this week, there’s has bee...
