Roger Banks makes a welcome return behind the decks, after an all action, all eras, all styles debut set last year!! Shades of Soul Scribe Derek Pearson will be making his first appearance at Ashton, quality Soul Guaranteed!! Chris Penn one of the original DJs when the whole thing started at Dukinfield Masonic WOW time flies, he always plays a mixed set, aimed firmly at the dance floor!!! Ashton regular William Mailey will also be making his debut behind the decks, in a Stellar line up (no pressure mate) Team Ukrainian Residents Phil Dunn who always sets the tone for night in the all important opening set and "The Finisher" Chris Churm will be providing his very popular "last hour" set, always bringing something fresh to the table and I can already hear the "just one more record" requests from the dancefloor.!! The night runs 7pm-00.30 and an unbeatable £5 pay on the door gets you in on the action!!
