The Night Train®

If it’s a choice between no show and a ropey show, most listeners would probably like a ropey show. That’s what this one is. Not the bits on the mic, those are as stellar as always. The music is also good. It’s the ordering of it, we’re a bit rusty so it doesn’t quite flow as well as it has in the past. Perhaps we’re over-thinking it (very likely).

Anyway, here’s the show. Early morning upload for the fiends that want to listen on Monday morning.

As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

With this show it’s best to just focus on the music. Please ignore us butchering the Portuguese language when trying to pronounce artists and song titles. We did our best.

As it’s Carnival Season (and the big day tomorrow), we promised some people a Brasil special. If you’re not lucky enough to be celebrating Carnival/Mardi Gras, use this as the soundtrack to your Pancake Day.

Back this Sunday with a normal show, unless someone famous dies.

As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

A Tuesday evening upload?!? Madness. It’s almost like you’ll never know when an upload is going to happen. So here’s Sunday’s show. It’s Steve on his own which means there’s a good chance there’ll be a Mary Lattimore cut, a 78 and some Osees.

We’re back next week with a Brasil special in preparation for Carnival. Get your requests and suggestions in, pronto.

How’s everybody’s Wednesday going? We’d like to think that with this show dropping in your feed, the day has got considerably better. Truth be told, this could have been uploaded on Sunday night but we were being lazy. Please forgive us.

The show. It’s a small record special so we packed some 45s in the bags and headed to the studio. For a show with very little planning, it’s actually turned out pretty damn good!

There might be a show on Sunday. It all depends on if Steve fancies going into the studio on his own. Tune in on Sunday to find out!

What a week! We’ve been dealing with a whirlwind of bullshit, jet lag and other annoyances. This is a flimsy excuse as to why this show is only now being uploaded.
Anyway, it’s a great show. A different show. It features our first ever LIVE guest presenter, DJ Kalinka. He can be heard on Sheffield Live as one of the crew that brings you Two Foot Left.
We’re back on Sunday (hopefully) with a small records show.
