    #371 - Gig Shazams and an October debrief (10th Nov 2024)

    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 Guest Mix of Studio One 45s. Genuinely hyped for it.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukWe're also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESHear about the weirdest gig we’ve ever been tohttps://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/306-trugoy-the-dove-and-the-weirdest-gig-weve-ever-been-to-26th-feb-2023/6hrs of Toussaint Pickshttps://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/allen-toussaint-special-12th-november-2015/https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/93-allen-toussaint-tribute-show-vol-3-12th-nov-2017/https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/49-allen-toussaint-tribute-show-vol-2-10th-nov-2016/Goat Pre-Show Musichttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/7K5AH8DK8e5oBav8NyyQms?si=fcdb10e684384bfaNautilus Mixeshttps://www.mixcloud.com/BreaksBassFam/dee-rock-nautiness/https://www.mixcloud.com/Cut_Chemist/the-nautilus-special/TRACKLISTINGBuddy Miles - Them ChangesKing Curtis - Night TrainWilliam Onyeabor - Body And SoulThe Meters - Cissy StrutAmiel Moodie & The Dandemites - Bend the TreeThe Equals-Police On My BackGoat - Under No NationMartyn - ef40Sammy Virji, Flowdan - Shella Verse (Original Mix)Pearson Sound - Hornet (Original Mix)Special Request - Hectic (Soul Mass Transit System VIP)Dillinja - Deadly CeremoniesAdonis - No Way Back (Instrumental)Prince Jammy - Waterfront Gang WarGalt MacDermot - And He Will Not Come AgainPete Rock & C.L.

    #370 - The Party Train - 9th Birthday (3rd Nov 2024)

    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 popular? Time will tell. For now, get onboard The Party Train and enjoy the ride. Choo Choo.Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukWe're also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESGloria — Van Morrison’s song became an anthem for punky young singershttps://ig.ft.com/life-of-a-song/gloria.htmlRainbow Chasers: how 60s duo Nirvana caught Salvador Dalí's attention | Louderhttps://www.loudersound.com/features/rainbow-chasers-how-60s-duo-nirvana-caught-salvador-dalis-attention

    #367 All 45s Live! (6th Oct 2024)

    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, we think you’ll agree.If everything goes to plan, we’ll be back in the studio on Sunday with the usual old nonsense.Get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukWe're also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESBuy records from our pal Crackerjack!https://www.discogs.com/seller/splendidrecords/profileRead about “Stormy Weather” by The 5 Sharpshttps://www.uncamarvy.com/5Sharps/5sharps.htmlTRACKLISTINGTrinikas - Remember MeBaby Washington - I’ll ChangeThe Chimes - Zindy LouDaddy Cleanhead And The Chuck Higgins Band - Something's Goin' on in My RoomArthur Lee Maye And The Crowns – Oh-Rooba-LeeRoy Montrell And His Band - (Every Time I Hear) That Mellow SaxophoneLarry Williams - Slow DownLittle Richard - LucilleLloyd Price - Lawdy Miss ClawdyThe Mighty Imperials - Chico’s BarnyardFat Night - Things You Do (Instrumental)Fats Domino - I’m ReadyFrankie Ford - Sea Cruise Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty OneHuey Smith & The Clowns - Rockin’ Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie FluThe Flares - Foot Stompin’The “5” Royales - ThinkSil Austin - The Slow WalkFive Sharps - Stormy WeatherBeats International - Explore Invasion of the Estate AgentsQuantic Presenta Flowering Inferno - Te Pico El Yaibi (Version)Flammer Dance Band - Holder RytmeDub Traffik Control - Carlito CumbiaLito Barrientos Y Su Orquesta - Cumbia En Do MenorLee Perry And The Upsetters - Jungle LionLester Sterling & Stranger Cole With Sterling All-Stars - BangarangLynn Taitt & The Jets - Napoleon SoloVal Bennett - Take Five (The Russians Are Coming)David Axelrod - Holy ThursdayLouis Armstrong and The All-Stars - On The Sunny Side Of The StreetJelly Roll Morton and his Red Hot Peppers - Don’t You Leave Me HereGeorge Lewis and his New Orleans Stompers - Just A Closer Walk With TheeEmperors - Bring Out Yourself (Instrumental)Rodriguez - Only Good for ConversationGoat - Dig My GraveElekTro4 - Three Views Of A SecretCaribou - Melody Day (Four Tet Remix)Smiles - Just A Star Beatsy Collins - Marvin Holla
