Feb 26, 202502:01:22Tap to summarizeAfternoon 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.

Feb 10, 202501:59:44Tap to summarizeEvenin' 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.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, they’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.
