    #425 - Oddball Purge Vol.12 (5th Apr 2025)
    Apr 18 2026

    Listeners that have been with us a while, will either be rejoicing or lamenting this upload. It’s the return of the 100% strange music show! It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, which is a travesty (in some people’s eyes).


    So here it is, 120ish minutes of weird music for you to enjoy/endure.


    No show from us tomorrow (19th April) due to legitimate reasons. We’ll hopefully be back next week with another great show.


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

    Alright party people! A Monday upload that we’ve been putting off all day as it’s been sunny. It was a solo show from Steve, but that’s not the important bit. The important bit is there’s AN AMAZING GUEST MIX THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR EARS. Freakbeat Brónagh’s Land of Make Believe Mix is one for the ages. Don’t panic, we’re going to upload it clean in the week so you don’t have to endure Steve’s dulcet tones and dull chat.Back next week for a standard show. It’s #425 so we could do a weird one. We might, the jury’s out.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESBeta Band Tour DJ Sethttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/13lIHJIOAP0g7Cc41lDxYE?si=0dff8239e0e340f1#270 Mark Lanegan Tribute - (6th March 2022)https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/270-mark-lanegan-tribute-6th-march-2022/#62 David Axelrod Tribute Show (2nd March 2017)https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/62-david-axelrod-tribute-show-2nd-march-2017/Digable Planets: Noochie’s Live From The Front Porchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuVkDXNaOJwTRACKLISTINGStereo MC's - Ground LevelKing Curtis - Night TrainRichard Berry & The Pharaohs - Have Love Will TravelDeee-Lite - What Is Love?

    Just a quick hello to say, here’s the show. It’s got both of us in the studio which isn’t going to happen again for at least a week. If things go according to plan, Steve will be flying solo on Sunday. It is the Easter Bank Holiday weekend though so if you haven’t got work, do tune in and say hi!This show may or may not work on Mick’s Cloud. There’s a song by DJ Shadow that’s technically 6 songs, so it might get flagged for copyright.

    The Secret Handshake with Louise T | LWSTD-FM
    Mar 23 2026

    Evenin’ all. We didn’t do a show last night but we couldn’t leave you without something to tide you over until we’re next on the airwaves.

    We’ve pinched a show that we love and that we think you’ll love as well. It’s by friend of the show Louise and it’s a great monthly show on LWSTD.fm. Its goes out at 3pm, in the slot that Pick of The Pops used to have. They’re not really the same, just wanted to mention it.

    If you want to get up to speed with all the other great shows, give LT a follow on Mick’s Cloud so you don’t miss anything.

    #422 with Haunted Jukebox Guest Mix (16th March 2026)
    Mar 16 2026

    Parts of this show were made in a hurry. If we didn’t tell you that, we’re not sure you’d know as the bits we made are pretty good. The bit of the show that’s really good is the killer guest mix from Rockin’ Rachel at Haunted Jukebox. We’ve linked her profile on Mick’s Cloud below. You should check out her show. It’s mint.

    No live show next weekend due to reasons. We’ll try and get something out for the live crew to enjoy.

    #420 "all the right songs..." (1st March 2026)
    Mar 1 2026
    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.

    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.
