  • #337 Small Records Vol 1 - Singles Night & Daptone (14th Jan 2024)

    Another week, another daft idea for a show...


    This week, it's the inaugural Small Records edition of The Night Train. From now on (or until we forget) every show that ends in a 7, we'll be playing 45s. It seemed like a good idea at the time. So for this edition, to kick things off in style, we dusted off the records we played at Singles Night, played a Daptone and affiliates set and then went back to back until the show finished.

    Hopefully, the next show will be a normal one. If only we had the power to make that happen....

  • #334 0898 333 201 (10th Dec 2023)

    As we felt bad leaving you so long waiting for last week’s show, we’ve pulled out all the stops to get this one uploaded, pronto.


    It’s just the two of us, no guest mix. There’s a lot of 45 chat. Apologies if that doesn’t interest you. The good news is that next week is the last “Live” show of the year. We’re not doing a show on Christmas Day or NYE. We’re not that tragic. We will leave you with a couple o’ smokin’ shows if you do find yourself needing some radio relief.

    Listen. It’s been a tough week. Other stuff has been gettin’ in the way of the upload. It’s here now, so don’t worry. To be honest, we can’t be mad at you lot for “demanding” the show quicker after a Sunday as that means you’re up to date on shows. The only way to get it hotter is tune in live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org


    This week’s show has an ‘08 on wax dubstep mix and lots of other great tunes.

    In a suprise to everyone, especially ourselves, we've managed to make it to 8 years on the radio. Are we better than when we started? Of course. Are we actually good? Debatable.

    The plan for this show was to bring some records that we had in our boxes from DJing at Hagglers on Friday and play them. In theory, this was to make life easier for ourselves
