#383 - Gwen & Roy (9th March 2025)

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.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.SHOW NOTES‘Bass on one shoulder, bow and arrows on the other’: life with Fela Kuti on history’s most dangerous tourDJ MP45 – BACK TO THE HIP HOPStereo Mc's - Dj Kicks (1999)Soul on the Grill / Paul NiceStrange Games & Funky Things Vol. III mixed Kenny DopeStrange Games & Things Vol. I & II by Dj SpinnaDJ Muro - King of Diggin' Volume 1 Side ADJ Muro - King of Diggin' Volume 1 Side BAnother Late Night: Zero 7TRACKLISTINGGwen McCrae - Rockin' ChairBlahzay Blahzay - Danger (Radio Version)Jaylib - The Red (Instrumental)Gwen McCrae - 90% Of Me Is YouRoy Ayers Ubiquity - Hummin'Roy Ayers - Life is Just a Moment (Part 1)A Tribe Called Quest - Description Of A Fool (Talkie)Roy Ayers - Running Away (Short Version)Brainsick Enterprize - Mixmaster USA (Instrumental)Troubleneck Brothers - Back To The Hip-Hop (Radio Edit)Brand Nubian - Wake up (Reprise in the Sunshine) A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum RAMP - DaylightRoy Ayers - We Live in Brooklyn, BabyDa Bush Baybees - Remember We (TNT Extended)Amral's Trinidad Cavaliers Steel Orchestra - 90% Of Me Is YouGwen McCrae - Funky Sensation (Single Version)Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I'm Givin'Junior M.A.F.I.A - Get Money (Instrumental)Junior M.A.F.I.A - Get Money (Radio Edit)Sylvia Striplin - You Can't Turn Me AwayJungle Terrorists - Just Ganja A Guy Called Gerald - SunshineTyler, The Creator ft.
