About The Event

The return of the Ashton Ukrainian continues after a few fabulous nights in 2021 and we're hoping for another great installment.

If you haven't been before here's a potted history from our very own Chris Churm:

The club was originally based at the  Dukinfield Masonic hall, starting well in January 2017  attended by around 100 guests. Resident DJs were Brian Lester, Chris Churm and Chris Penn.

The venue was great with a large dance floor  and ran until May 2017 when it moved to the Ukrainian Club, a slightly smaller venue (capacity 130) perfect the type of night we were trying to run delivering a mix of lesser known, rare and under played soul; a bit of everything.

The  first date  was June 2017 and was a  great night musically. January 2020 was the 3rd anniversary with guests Phil wainwright and Alex Jones,  respected collector/ DJs to entertain us with their fantastic collections and they were superb, and it was one of our best nights.

Following that in Feb 2020  Les Harrison (one of our regular DJs) and Geoff Stubbs of Stockport were our guests and were excellent as usual .

I must  thank Les Harrison and sue  who were at our first night in 2017 and have only missed the odd one when he has been booked to DJ at Culcheth and our dates unfortunately clashed . He has also helped us to sort the gremlins in the sound system on a few occasions.

Sadly  Brian Lester  who used to play some great tracks decided to bow out from the scene  and our other original DJ maestro Chris Penn moved to the  north east, he  will be missed ,but he has assured us he will be back to annoy us from time to time to DJ for us. .

Here is a list of some of the guys and girls that have played for us and have all taken part in the spirit of our humble Ukrainian club soul evening.

Carl and Maria Willingham, John Hillel, Dave Hall, Chris Penn, Brian Lester, Les Harrison, Derek Watmough, Ian Cunliffe,  Dave Beech, Carol Burgess, Simon Ingham, Mick Howard, Carol-Ann McCarthy, Geoff Stubbs, Geoff Buckley, Tom Dacey, John Baggaley, Dave Flynn, Les Hare, Mark Tobin, Ged Gibbons and Phil Etchells  (sorry if I missed anyone).

As we all know  in March  2020 (just as our guests  Simon Ingham and Mick Howard  were ready to  DJ for us) the pandemic struck and everything stopped but the restart will pick up where we left off and  Simon alongside Mick will be our first guests, hopefully we can bounce back .

Post pandemic the club have informed us that for the night to continue it will have to be a Saturday night event, ironically that is what we first wanted and we think could be better for everyone so keep an eye on the soul source calendar for future instalments.

We hope everyone is well and can’t wait to see you all again

Just over a week to the June instalment at The Ashton Ukrainian Club, Saturday June 18th we swing back into action after yet another amazing night in May!!

Another top drawer DJ line up to entertain you featuring Falkirk's finest Alan Jenkins former Lifeline DJ Karl "Chalky" White making an all too infrequent return behind the decks, local lad Stu Cheetham will be putting his usual High Octane fuelled stamp on the proceedings completing the line up Geoff Stubbs and Phil Dunn when not collecting your (we think very reasonable) £5 door tax puts together the foundation "early doors" set!!

The night runs 7.30 pm-00.30, early arrival is a must as ever a busy night is expected!!

Too good to miss IMHO - even if I don't get as far as the main room because I'm chatting nonsense in the bar area LOL :thumbup:

Chalky I remember talking to you about the fabulous Wilson Williams record at the last Ashton (we have The Crates double sided release). Did you ever listen to the Yola recent release ‘Dancing Away In Tears’, which as I mentioned at the time, is basically imo an uncredited cover of ‘I think it’s gonna work out fine’.  Incidentally she’s also in the new Elvis movie playing Sister Rosetta Thorpe!!

Hi Shirley, uncannily similar.  She has a great voice, an LP I've yet to pick up.  Looking forward to the Elvis movie as well and will look out for her, she has a great voice.
