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 2025 we're looking once again 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.

Will Simon have The Versatones (Aka Percy & Them) in his box with him just in case Carl fancies a bop to it, & maybe t'other side for me as well.👌

 

Carl may play it for himself 😁

Kicking off a New Week with a BANG!! From the play box of Bob Hitchcock.  A record that has stood the test of time, from the heady days of The Casino and still sounding the business!!

For me Billy Thompson was always one of the standout quality tracks on Ian Levines Sceptre/Wand 1975 Solid Soul Sensations compilation LP and it is always well received on the dancefloor. Like you say Mick It still sounds as brilliant now as it did 50years ago at the Casino or in my case the Mecca.

I'm guessing it got it's first spins at The Mecca then and yeah what a great compilation LP that was !!
