#397 Small Records Vol. 7 - Global Sounds on 45s...

The Night Train® ·

2025/07/14

OK. We forgot that this week was going to be 45s show. But, we had already done some prep to make it less painful!The plan for this show was “2 hours of songs from places that aren’t The UK or The USA”. That’s not a very catchy name so we’ve gone for “Global Sounds on 45s” which we can all agree is a MUCH better name.We were both going to be playing records but in the end, Steve made Paul do all the work on the decks while he did show admin. You’ll probably agree that this worked out well.Hopefully

2025/07/09

Apologies this is so late. It’s been a busy week! Anyway, less of the excuses and back to the music. Here it is, the much promised Chicken Special! 2hrs of chicken and chicken-related music. Possibly the daftest theme show we’ve done in a while. For such a specific subject-matter it’s actually pretty varied.Back on Sunday with what we hope will be a standard show.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

#395 "What a G-double-O-D vibration" - A Tribute To...

The Night Train® ·

2025/06/25

Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up.We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!As always, get in touch with requests,

#394 "Shouldn't that song be longer?" (8th June 2025)

The Night Train® ·

2025/06/11

Sunday’s show, finally uploaded for your listening enjoyment. Fresh from our adventure in Chesterfield, 2 hours of pretty decent music. No theme this week. Just the two of us picking a bunch of songs from our “To Play” folder(s). The next show is a bit up in the air as we were tempted to make a Sly Stone Tribute Show but honestly, that just feels like a lot of hard work and we won’t be able to do it justice.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix

2025/06/05

Morning all. Hope you’re all having a good week. We hadn’t realised the show hadn’t been uploaded. We’ve been too busy with birthday planning, birthday celebrations and looking at 45s we don’t need but need.Anyway, enough of the excuses. Here it is. It’s standard fayre. High energy hour one. Low(er) energy hour two.Hopefully we’ll be back on Sunday. We haven’t really go a choice thanks to how the shows fall and that bl00dy chicken special in July that’s rapidly approaching.As always, get in touch

#392 Long Songs on Wax (25th May 2025)

The Night Train® ·

2025/05/28

Morning all. Another day, another oddly-timed upload. This week we played long songs on wax. It’s an idea we’ve had for a while and to be honest, we wanted to do it as it took minimal preparation. As with these shows we do on the fly they can be hit or miss. We think this one is a hit though. Hopefully you’ll agree.Hopefully we’ll be back on Sunday with a normal show with our hot-chat and field reports of what we’ve been up to for the last month. Plenty of things to fill you in with but we’ll no

#390 [Artist] - [Title] (11th May 2025)

The Night Train® ·

2025/05/14

Another week, another daft idea for a theme show. This was made even harder due to us being sticklers for the rules. The rules we made.It’s two hours of songs named after the artists that made them. Nobody asked us to do it but the good news is we’ve done it, so nobody else really needs to.There may or may not be a show next week, depending on if Steve can drag himself to the studio for a solo show. If he does, do consider tuning in and getting in touch to keep him company.As always, get in touch

There are many joys that a Bank Holiday can bring, 2 of which areA normal TNTA quick uploadHere is last night's show, uploaded in under 24 hours. What about that? Imagine how this operation would be if we didn’t have to work. Best case scenario is that we can retire at 60 and put even more effort into the show. If that’s the case, we’ve just gotta ride it out for another 17 years.Anyway, here’s the show. It’s a fun one. The kind you can play around people that don’t listen. If you do that, let us

A daytime upload? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localised entirely in your podcast feed?Sunday saw us spinnin’ small rekkids as it’s show #387. Made on the fly, we had a rough idea of what we wanted to play but with no real plan. We’re pretty pleased with the outcome. Apologies to the live listeners that had to endure technical gremlins. We’ve tweaked the upload a bit for The Listen Again Crew so it should be a bit more enjoyable.As always, get in touch with

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.

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 mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t

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, recommendations and guest mix

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

The Night Train® ·

2025/03/12

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,

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

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

2025/02/04

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

2025/01/22

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 this decade. Unprecedented.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix
