  • TNT "Classic" - #109 The Gospel Train Easter Special - (1st April 2018)

    Afternoon. There was a show last night but sometimes, radio should be ephemeral* so instead of posting that show, we've uploaded this "classic" show from the vaults**

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    To celebrate the long weekend here in the UK, we've put together a special show that's bereft of secular music. It's often said that the devil has the best music, this show might just prove otherwise.

    In the words of Jessie Jackson, "on this program you will hear gospel, and rhythm and blues, and jazz. All those are just labels. We know that music is music"

    To experience the show live n direct.. tune into Sheffield Live, Sundays 9pm-11pm on 93.2FM, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org

    *there were too many dodgy bits so we can't be bothered to fix them in post.

  • #307 GMT Tech in a BST World (2nd April 2023)

    The thing about this show is… even when we’re trying to put as much effort in as possible, the universe tries to conspire against us to make us look shambolic! Luckily, you lot are the best and don’t really seem to care/just ignore the shambolic parts of The Night Train.


    So, here it is. Show 307. Victory from the jaws of defeat. Hear reports from gigs, walking, Pitsmoor manuvers and more!

  • TNT "Classic" - #144 with Neil from WWOZ (20th Jan 2019)

    Afternoon all. There wasn't a show last night due to reasons*. As you know by now, we don't like to leave you with nothing to listen to (and our show is timeless), we wanted to re-up a show from the archive.


    Hopefully we'll be back on the airwaves next weekend.


    ---SHOW BLURB FROM 2019---

    It's the 1st guest mix of the year and to be honest we can't think of a better person to hand over the Sheffield Live airwaves to. From WWOZ on a Tuesday night, its the host of The 50's Rhythm 7 Blues Show, Neil Pelligrin. He's given us a twin-spin mix of some of the finest grooves found on a 45 and it's an honour to have the mix on our show.

    The rest of the show is taken up with a little bit of what we've been listening to in the week, some picks that we've been sitting on for a while and everybody's favourite.... on air show planning!



    * Steve took the fob to The Yorkshire Dales by mistake.

  • #306 Tales From "Far-Away" Lands (19th March 2023)

    Yes, we actually dragged our sorry asses into the studio to actually do a show! Press play and listen to Steve rabbit on about his holiday and Paul play new music.

  • All Back To Mine with The Chemical Brothers

    Mornin' all!


    So, there wasn't a show last night for various reasons (tune in next week to find out why!) but we didn't want to leave you, the faithful member of the LAC (Listen Again Crew) without something to tide you over until next week.


    To keep your ears warmed we've delved into the archive (the shoebox of cassettes that Steve's hiding from The Long Suffering Alma in the cellar) to find a tape of The Chemical Brothers being interviewed on Radio 1 for "All Back To Mine". The show is mint, with recollections of raves, Manchester, Ibiza, tours and all-sorts. Hope you enjoy it!

  • #305 Trugoy the Dove and the weirdest gig we've ever been to (26th Feb 2023)

    It’s another one of those weeks where we had to dedicate a large portion of the show to someone that’s now swirling in the stars. A big chunk of this show is dedicated to Trugoy The Dove from De La Soul who passed earlier this month.


    There is a bit extra in this show, where we do a gig report from our adventure to Nottingham to watch Brian Jonestown Massacre.


    Not sure there’ll be a show next week but we’ll be hopefully back bigger than ever (or just back) the following week.

  • #304 DJ DS Guest Mix (19th Feb 2023)

    Greetings one and all! Apologies for gettin’ this uploaded late in the day. Still, better late than never we suppose. To be honest, were never really sure how many of you are sitting lookin’ at your phones waiting for a notification of our little ol’ show.


    Anyway, this week we’ve got a guest mix and tributes to 3 people that are swirling in the stars. Really though, it’s the guest mix that we’re most exited about as it’s a doozy!
