The Night Train®

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 inquiries!

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.

There may or may not be a (live) show on Sunday as we’re out on Saturday Night Manoeuvres. If we don’t go into the station, we’ll hit you up with another classic show from the archive.

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).

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 you could get in touch with what we played, that'll be great.

We're not doing a show next Sunday either as we've got a busy weekend but we'll hopefully dig something out for the Listen Again Crew.

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.

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.
