The Night Train®

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.

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.

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 doubt forget to mention any of it.

Sunday’s show. Get into it. Steve did it on his own. He didn’t talk much so if you like drones and synths and delay and pads and not a lot else, this is the show for you.

Hopefully back on Sunday for a Big Bank Holiday Show.

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.

There are many joys that a Bank Holiday can bring, 2 of which are

• A normal TNT
• A quick upload

Here 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 know. We’d be interested to know if anyone says they like it.

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.
