Delighted to welcome Baz Maleady back behind the decks, the guy behind Culcheth Soul Nights and before that the groundbreaking Saints Club in St Helens, some memorable tunes and nights from the 90s. Baz is still as enthusiastic as ever for all that's Soulful on our scene !! Stu Parcel O' Soul Cheetham has put his drum sticks down for the evening to pump out the sounds to move your feet!! Check out the link for some crackers from Stu and all our guest DJs !! Lots of interest already and rightly so!! Tony Mac a man with an ear for a tune is also with us once again, after a well received set last year!! Tony is a veteran of the scene going back to the days of The Torch and Manchester's Pendulum Club right through to today's big sounds!! Phil Dunn always delivers the goods, early doors, always a well thought out and varied selection!! Mick Howard who??? and Chris Churm complete the line up of North West Spinners, you know it's gonna be good !! The night runs 7pm-00.30 and just £6 admission pay on the door, as always the vibe from the main room will be pumped into the Lounge/Record Bar Area, via our in house sound system, sales boxes welcome!!!

  10. Micksmix

    Early Arrival is a must, not only to grab your table in the main room, but to catch Stu Cheetham's High Octane hour, all aimed at the Dancers WHOOOOSH!!!!
  11. Micksmix

    Stu Cheetham is chomping at the bit always a quality early doors set, to set the tone for what is shaping up to be one hell of a night!! Michigan Magic and a great Double Sider, take your pick!!
  12. Micksmix

    Is this the same guy? Oooops in my defence it was early DOH!!!
  13. Micksmix

    Classic Detroit Soul from The Stafford TOTW All-Nighters for Baz Maleady's next selection and another record that shares the same backing track as another In-demander in the form of Charles Holiday "just can't trust nobody" Equally as good in my opinion is this take by The Four Voices !!
  14. Micksmix

    This version gets occasional spins from me, a quality production that obviously someone had faith in, given the different versions out there!!
  15. Micksmix

    We're off and running into a new week and our traditional Monday Morning Banger comes from Baz Maleady, the guy with surely the most complete collection of all things Soulful across the decades and genres!! A track that shares the same backing tracking track as Sugar + Sweet "cool it baby" but you already knew that
  16. Micksmix

    April is peeping round the corner this time digging into Stu "DJ Fontana" Cheetham (look it up) playbox Ending the week on a high with The Vanguards !!

    Affectionately known back then as "kicking the cat" OUCH!!

    Our "North West DJ special" at Ashton Ukrainian Club on Saturday April 12th seems to have captured the imagination!! Baz Maleady is a prime example, like many of us embracing The Rich history of Soul Music in all it's guises which shows in an always imaginative playlist, aimed firmly at the dancers. Please check back regularly via the link, as we add some of Baz's and all the guest DJ selections on the excellent Soul-Source event page thread!! I'll always cite Tony Mac as the Catalyst for re-igniting my interest in the Rare Soul Scene in the late 80s with some excellent local events at The much missed Bridge Hall Niters in Bury and some great sessions at Rochdale Football Club. Always a quality hour guaranteed with maybe a few Wilton Memories!! Stu "Parcel O' Soul" Cheetham is having a night off from his gigging around the North West as an accomplished drummer, which probably explains his unique feel for a record the dancers will embrace, bringing the heat, as only he can!! Phil Dunn will be your host for the opening slot, lots of positive comments from The Ashton Faithful Early Birds!! Mick Howard and Chris Churm AKA the finisher always sends the dancers home, singing and dancing complete our "Made in the North West" Special, hope you can join us, admission just £6 pay on the door. The music and "oh so special atmosphere" starts at 7pm running till 00.30 Don't miss it !!!
  21. Micksmix

    Revisiting Tony Mac's selections and a record for me synonymous with another North West Legend Sir Bob Hinsley. This record always drags tired limbs back on the dancefloor!! April 12th we can't wait!!!
  22. Micksmix

    Uptempo Stormer for Stu's next selection, hang on to your hats !!!

    Delighted to have Baz Maleady back doing a guest spot. Baz is the original "Dark Horse" mistakenly assumed by some as a DJ purely associated with The Modern Soul Scene? That's only part of his back story, an OG from the early days of Wigan, through the Jazz Funk years and the natural progression in the early 80s of the fledgling Modern Soul Scene. His collection embraces all that and more BUT he has an amazing collection of Classic and Rare Soul 45s, like you wouldn't believe!! Always Championing the overlooked/underplayed 45s and is well remembered as the driving force of the much missed Saints Club in St Helens and 45s like The Dream Merchants had their "day in the sun" expect the unexpected !!!

    I remember buying a copy of this for £20 on recommendation from Bob Hinsley, mid-late 90s when Soul Bowl's John Anderson, had quantity of this and most/all of Huey P Meaux back catalogue, managed to buy another off him which I sold on for about £50 OUCH. Kept my copy and managed to get it signed by Barbara Lynn when she appeared at The Fleetwood Weekender, probably in my top five live acts, she had everything!!! Unfortunately a few years when like most of us "something else" comes up for sale, think my copy went to a Swedish Collector, got what I considered a good price, Aah well!!! Flip gets a few outings on the European Scene I believe?

    Looking forward to my debut DJ set at WOLFIES SOUL CLUB heard so many good things about the event and ten years running is no mean feat, take a bow Natalie Nicholls x DJ'ing in esteemed company, should be a great night AND the only way to start your Easter Weekend !!!
