We have our inhouse sound system piped into the bar area for all you lounge lizards and vinyl junkies!!

£5 admission pay on the door, gets you a slice of the action !!

Another busy old weekend ahead, looking very healthy in the footfall at quality events, playing something a bit different. Culcheth and Manchester Soul Weekend being a good reference point, this weekend.

WOW what a beauty, I've only ever seen this for sale once, it was on one of Brownies Auctions many years ago. Excellent choice.

Note to myself, Get your arse to Ashton to hear it played out. Nice one Phil, 

I wonder if Baz'll have Dolly Gilmore "Sweet,sweet baby"with him?

I'll be adding Baz's selections soonish, should be some interesting choices!!

If you ever attended Grumpy Soul in all it's guises you'll know to expect a wicked selection of Rare Soul from Phil T, basically expect the unexpected!!

Looking to add some sample selections from our last event in April as a taster for May 20th!!!

This New Orleans Scorcher, sounded a bit good in april!!

Revived spins for this classic Van McCoy production, sounded so good in April. More of the same and then some May 20th !!

Just over a week to our next night at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Saturday May 20th is shaping up to be another cracker.

As ever another quality line up, with some real pedigree on the Rare Soul Scene.

Phil Dick will be well known to most for his "Detroit A Go Go" events and before that at various events in and around Bradford.

Baz Maleady another quality DJ and non too shabby promotor of The Culcheth "spirit of Lowton events, also being a major player on the crossover/ modern circuit with The excellent "spirit of the Orwell" nights at Haydock, proving real poplular with folk with an open mind on quality soul music. The Saints Club in St Helens being the catalyst for "pushing the boundaries" soul music through the Lowton Civic Hall period to present day.

Phil Threlfall known more recently for the "ground breaking" Grumpy Soul Nights. Phil has been a stalwart on the scene in the post Wigan period from Morecambe Pier, Stafford TOTW and beyond, expect the unexpected!!

Bolton's Derek Watmough will be adding the usual classy selection from all eras, being a regular from the early days of OUR music!!

Phil Dunn will be starting the night, again mixing the classics and a few " curve balls"!! Pinning the whole thing together Ashton Main Man Chris Churm probably the most unassuming DJ you will ever meet. His records speak for themselves!!!

Please remember our now earlier start time running 7pm-00.30 and an interest rate busting £5 pay on the door!!

Our regulars and new attendees never cease to amaze with the distances they travel for this quality event, many thanks!!

Please check the thread and feel free to RSVP the event, on here for any updates !!

Don't listen to him Phil just play Lonnie Russ for me - after all it is about me 

You are absolutely correct si It is all about me ,so if you would Phil please play the records , if not for me , do it for the youngsters

Looking forward to Baz Maleady back behind the decks at the Ukrainian Club. One of my all time favourite Soul Singers Linda Jones, recorded so many great records that have seen turntable action over the years, this one seems to have grabbed the attention recently and rightly so!!

Another cracker from Baz, sharing the same backing as "open the door to your heart"

There's a very good chance, this will be booming out of the speakers on Saturday, premier league dance floor dynamite from the Motor City!!!

Two crackers from Baz, out of the Windy C!!

Sooo looking forward to Saturday at the Ukrainian, it's been one of my favourite venues to visit over the past 12 months, missed the last couple due to commitments but back for Saturday and really looking forward to spinning a few chooneroonies in excellent company   

Here's one of my faves at the moments, hopefully will get chance to play it...

Quality spin for saturday, you know you want to !!
