Another Stunning addition to Chris Penn's playbox a UK Rarity from I believe an Australian Artist? and one that always hits the spot!

Another Classy Addition from Geoff Stubbs, looking good for Saturday!!

Into Detroit for the next selection from Simon Ingham sounds like a four figure record, but definitely won't upset your Bank Manager!!

The week leading up to the event, excitement and anticipation building!! Monday Morning Banger, this time courtesy of our man in The North East Chris Penn !!

Two great sides "tastes sour, don't it" shades it for me!!

Oh yeah that was when I used to spend all night in the record bar, Karen was not amused

Friday Feeling at Team Ukrainian and after careful consideration, the collective has decided Smashie + Nicey will be re-united for the closing set !!! Expect the usual eclectic mix, blended seamlessly by the Dynamic Duo!!!

Just over a week to our Saturday March 15th date at Ashton Ukrainian Club !! Huge Buzz on the event already on here and Soul-Source, as promised we have another Quality DJ line up, as our way of a thank you to The Ashton Faithful !! Roger Banks as a former Tameside resident just up the road from the Club, knows a lot of the crowd from venues like The Concorde Suite Niters at Droylsden also Hyde Town Hall Niters and the much missed Hyde Botanical Club. Roger always entertains the crowd, with a wealth of experience behind the decks!! Chris Penn has been in touch and is well up for the night, with some new acquisitions to the playbox ready to go!! Looking forward to Local Collector/DJ Geoff Stubbs check out the link at the bottom of the post for some sample selections for you to check out. Phil Dunn is the man for our early arrivals, always a good mix of the classics and lesser played 45s!! "The Vinylfellas" AKA Simon Ingham and Chris Churm will be playing some menacing Soul 45s to make you wanna dance, Capiche!!! The night runs 7pm-00.30 and just £6 admission pay on the door In the words of the song "give me the sunshine" see you there!!

Chris Penn has been in touch and is looking forward to his return to the North West. As always he has a few new things to play, going back to Stafford era for the next piece of hard edged Soul!!

Another Great Album track Championed by Roger Banks which gained so much traction it prompted The Shotgun 7" re-issue, Blinding Mid Tempo!!

More Menacing Soul from "The Fixer" AKA Simon Ingham WHOOOOSH!!!!

Next Selection from Geoff Stubbs and one that has gained traction in recent years, Big City Soul at it's best!!

I'm sure Roger Banks will be playing some Classy Album tracks, like this Wilton Fave from an iconic Artist !!

Looking forward to this, a quality event!!

Monday Morning Banger, to shake off the cobwebs from "The Fixer" one half of "The Vinylfellas" Menacing Soul for the dancefloor!!!

Another Great night at Culcheth, Baz M played a great opening hour of lesser played gems and the flip to The Dream Merchants, sounded a bit good, to these ears!! Great to see Bob Hinsley rolling back the years, double decking with Robbo, some tremendous stuff played. I enjoyed my impromptu set preceding them and managed to play Mike Roche his request , Cookie Scott "mislead" maybe set to have it's day in the sun?! Simon"The Fixer" Ingham played the usual high quality hour, we've come to expect Bo Fowler "upper hand" Keith + Billie "tastes sour, don't it" Hayes Cotton and finishing with the Mighty Chuck Cockerham and Little Rubin!! We caught the first half of Kev Murphy's last hour set Little Joe Roman and Frankie Beverley "because of my heart" a great way to kick start the set!! Spent a bit of time in a very busy Modern Room and That man Soul Sam had the crowd in the palm of his hand, pure quality!! If you haven't yet tried the event, you really are missing out, hats off to Baz Maleady for continuing to promote quality events in the North West, long may it continue!!
