  • TNT Classic - #39 Powlo Solo (1st Sept 2016)

    Due to boring reasons we won't bore you with, there wasn't a live show this week. As we don't like to leave the FM Listener(s) in the lurch, we put out 2 "Classic" shows from the archives.


    We're only gonna upload hour one (sans chat) and save the other hour for another time we have off. Here's what we wrote about the show in 2016....

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

    A special short solo show for Powlo with Steve away on important train related business. But don't fret, it still crams in the usual Night Train journey around scratchy old gospel, deep deep soul, heavy dub, modern electronica and everything else we can find. Low on chat, high on musical finesse!

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

    Listen live (ish) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2FM, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.org

  • #245 An EP Special! (13th June 2021)

    We mentioned it a long time ago, now here it is! The inaugural TNT EP Special. All (well, most) songs on tonight's show were first available on an EP. We know what your'e thinking... "that's a ridiculous idea for a theme show, they've finally lost the plot". Well, in your face! We had quite a few suggestions for songs. Even better than that, the show seems to have a good flow to it!

    Apologies for the lack of show notes this week. Steve was a bit squiffy while editing the show which meant he didn't make a note of the show ramblings. We couldn't make him listen to the links again!

  • #244 Cover versions and Females on 45s (6th June 2021)

    This week we take to the airwaves with a show that accidently had two themed sets! One of them has >60% of the songs with the same name. Could this be the start of something new? Who knows.

    This will be one of the shows that we're glad is a pre-record as we're both a bit worse for wear after spending last night celebrating Steve's birthday.

    Greetings and salutations! Sorry this is late in the day. The plan is to trick you into thinking tomorrow is actually Monday. That way when you remember it's actually Tuesday you'll be over the moon that it's only 6 sleeps until the next time we're on the air!

    For this show, we return with tales from afar, mix-tapes and birthdays, cover versions and plugs for other shows on the station. Wild times.

    What's this?!? A TNT upload in the AM?!? Someone's up early.

    Normal business again this week as our two intrepid hosts play a great 2hrs of different stuff that's been going around their heads for a while. One of them over a year! The downside of the early upload is that this blurb is lacking in anything of note.

  • #241 (9th May 2021)

    The strange thing about these pre-records is that technically, this file you're listening to has been "in the bag" since Saturday morning yet somehow Steve's only now gettin' around to uploading it. He's had ample time to get it uploaded yet it's still late in the day. Oh well.

    This week the mix is "new stuff from Paul and Steve accidentally plays 3 songs that he's heard on TV shows". To be honest, should probably say the co-host is https://www.tunefind.com/.

    Apologies one and all for the delayed upload! May Day has got us all over the place, thinking it’s Monday today. Thanks to those that messaged while tuned in on Sunday. We really miss doing the Bank Holiday weekend shows live. Hopefully it won’t be too long now.


    Music and ground covered this week is a nice mix of reggae, footwork, soul and more. We play some new old music we’ve purchased and generally give a bit of a better account of ourselves than the previous show.

    It's the long over-due return of a guest mix on TNT! Can't remember when the last one was, possibly Steve's when he decided to do his own guest mix. Not sure that should count though.

    So for this proper mix, it's from our good friend, Figure Of Wax. A northern soul and an all-round party DJ. He's just started an excellent monthly radio show, Liner Notes, on Steam Radio outta MCR so thought it right for him to hawk his wares on our shambles of a show!

    The rest of the show is also great. To be honest, the only thing that lets it down is our links. In our defence we'd had a late night and it takes us time to recover. Kinda think they still sounded cohesive/funny. Please let us know if that's not the case!

    You know, it kinda feels like these shows are gettin' better. We're not a slick operation by any means but that's not why you tune in, right?

    This week sees us playing a nice blend of the old and new. Some stuff from comps, some stuff from albums, some stuff we heard on the radio and some stuff we heard on Twitter.

    Apologies these blurbs aren't that exciting, we're tryin' our best! If you want to help improve things, get in touch at nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets.

    Today has been confusing. A classic "Tuesday that feels like a Monday". This is why this blurb will be minimal. The show is great though... a classic Easter Show. That means a sweet mix of tunes and we're both a bit "loose".

    Get in touch nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets.

    Please do, as this means we have something to mention when we're recording links. If not, Steve will no doubt bring up his bins.
