    #418 Steve flies solo (8th Feb 2026)

    A Tuesday evening upload?!? Madness. It’s almost like you’ll never know when an upload is going to happen. So here’s Sunday’s show. It’s Steve on his own which means there’s a good chance there’ll be a Mary Lattimore cut, a 78 and some Osees. We’re back next week with a Brasil special in preparation for Carnival. Get your requests and suggestions in, pronto. https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!

    #417 Small Records Vo. 8 - Sly Dunbar and more (1st Feb 2026)

    How’s everybody’s Wednesday going? We’d like to think that with this show dropping in your feed, the day has got considerably better. Truth be told, this could have been uploaded on Sunday night but we were being lazy. Please forgive us. The show. It’s a small record special so we packed some 45s in the bags and headed to the studio. For a show with very little planning, it’s actually turned out pretty damn good! There might be a show on Sunday. It all depends on if Steve fancies going into the studio on his own. Tune in on Sunday to find out! https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/ https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.uk Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

    What a week! We’ve been dealing with a whirlwind of bullshit, jet lag and other annoyances. This is a flimsy excuse as to why this show is only now being uploaded. Anyway, it’s a great show.

    TNT "Classic" - #55 Christmas Songs (22nd Dec 2016)

    Mornin' everyone. No new show last night. We both had a busy weekend (DJing, Channel One Soundsystem, late night Kebabish, a pub crawl and a birthday) so decided to take the week off. So we didn't leave you with nothing, we've delved into the "archives" for a "classic" show from 2016. It's the Christmas special. Two hours of festive songs without us talkin' over them so you can play this to friends, loved ones and even colleagues! We should be back next week with part 1 of "reason's why we're skint". Have a good week folks.
