    #383 - Gwen & Roy (9th March 2025)

    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!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, they’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTES‘Bass on one shoulder, bow and arrows on the other’: life with Fela Kuti on history’s most dangerous tourDJ MP45 – BACK TO THE HIP HOPStereo Mc's - Dj Kicks (1999)Soul on the Grill / Paul NiceStrange Games & Funky Things Vol. III mixed Kenny DopeStrange Games & Things Vol. I & II by Dj SpinnaDJ Muro - King of Diggin' Volume 1 Side ADJ Muro - King of Diggin' Volume 1 Side BAnother Late Night: Zero 7TRACKLISTINGGwen McCrae - Rockin' ChairBlahzay Blahzay - Danger (Radio Version)Jaylib - The Red (Instrumental)Gwen McCrae - 90% Of Me Is YouRoy Ayers Ubiquity - Hummin'Roy Ayers - Life is Just a Moment (Part 1)A Tribe Called Quest - Description Of A Fool (Talkie)Roy Ayers - Running Away (Short Version)Brainsick Enterprize - Mixmaster USA (Instrumental)Troubleneck Brothers - Back To The Hip-Hop (Radio Edit)Brand Nubian - Wake up (Reprise in the Sunshine) A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum RAMP - DaylightRoy Ayers - We Live in Brooklyn, BabyDa Bush Baybees - Remember We (TNT Extended)Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers Steel Orchestra - 90% Of Me Is YouGwen McCrae - Funky Sensation (Single Version)Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I'm Givin'Junior M.A.F.I.A - Get Money (Instrumental)Junior M.A.F.I.A - Get Money (Radio Edit)Sylvia Striplin - You Can't Turn Me AwayJungle Terrorists - Just Ganja A Guy Called Gerald - SunshineTyler, The Creator ft.

    #381 - Back at it (23rd Feb 2025)

    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 touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, they’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOWNOTESSLY LIVES!

    #88 Twenty Minute Songs (8th Oct 2017)

    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. We're not 100% sure of the tracklisting for this and we're too busy to listen to it again so if one of you could get in touch with what we played, that'll be great.We're not doing a show next Sunday either as we've got a busy weekend but we'll hopefully dig something out for the Listen Again Crew.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, they’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

    #380 - "it is happening again..." TNT Tribute to David Lynch (2nd Feb 2025)

    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.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, they’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESSgt.
