About The Event

The Ashton Ukrainian club has gone from strength to strength following the re-launch in 2021 and a move to Saturday night. For 2024 we're looking to continue delivery quality rare and underplayed soul from the residents and ever growing list of outstanding guests.

Speaking of ‘Rare & Underplayed Soul’ we use that phrase to capture what Ashton tries to deliver musically, which is worth expanding upon.

Mainly it's an attempt to move away from the standard music policy strap lines we’re all so used to seeing like; Northern, 60s & 70s, Crossover, Modern, across the board etc. etc. whilst genuinely trying to capture an ethos. The words ‘rare’ and ‘underplayed’ are intended to apply both in their own right and together, it certainly isn't supposed to be limited rare records that are also underplayed……we should have added quality in there too LOL.

In a nutshell you will hear all three combinations of the phrase on any given night at the Ukrainian Club; ‘Rare’ (but not for rarities sake) ‘Underplayed’ (but not because they’re not good enough) and of course ‘Rare & Underplayed’ but, all with one eye on the dancefloor.

We don’t have a music ‘policy’, all our residents & guests are free to express themselves as they wish, which we believe adds to the magic. So simply expect a great night of quality soul music if you ever get the chance to join us at our friendly little club.

Looking forward to a return visit to play some tunes at the brilliant Ashton Ukrainian Club THIS SATURDAY! If you're looking for a great night out with like-minded soul fans then this is most definitely for you... Sample a great mix of rare, not so rare and just plain great 60's and 70's enjoyed by a really appreciative crowd.

If you've been before, you know the crack, be early

For any young collector/Dj's out there, If you can go for the next 40years without having to sell or trade any of your records, then you to, can have a collection like Baz Maleedy's. 😜  And he's still at it.

If only mate, if only!! Like most some regrets in previous sales, some you buy at a realistic price and gasp at the current prices for the same record, like Delegates of Soul!! I think the key is buy records you have faith in and trust your judgement, that's the theory any way ......................😆

I've always said when a record goes into Baz's or Robbo's collection then that's it, they don't play the game like the rest of us. You'd think they'd let the odd one go, you know like pass it along to your mates for a trade, for instance James Dockery Baz. 😭
