    NYSD winter soul weekender is the place to be to bring in the New Year, at the George Hotel, Piercebridge over the weekend of December 30th/31st. The North West has a healthy representation on the DJ line up!!! Quality rare and underplayed Soul from 60s/70s in the main ballroom, with Sweet, Deep and soulful grooves in room 2. Last year was a cracker and lots of interest already in this quality event.

    Please check out the pinned post for details of local accomodation and passes!!

    On a rain sodden winter's day, Ashton Ukrainian Club, is on the horizon, shining like a beacon in the darkness!!!

    This Saturday December 9th our 2023 finale night!! Don't forget 6 hours of quality soul awaits, as we extend the night, now running 7pm-1am and just £5 admission pay on the door. Our lovely volunteer bar staff have agreed to "let the music play on" Please give what you can to the collection for their sterling efforts on our behalf, it really is appreciated, as are YOU!! The Ashton Faithful!!

    Seeing a great year out in fine style, we have assembled a DJ line up, worthy of the occasion!!

    Roger Banks will not only be keeping the dancefloor moving, there will be his R+B record sales bar in the lounge area. Roger is no stranger to the area, there's a more in depth profile on the thread, so go check that out and feel free to RSVP the event!!

    Phil Dunn will as ever be doubling up up behind the decks and working the door, gonna be a busy boy on Saturday!!

    Luci Jones will be ensuring the dance floor is Jumping, with her all action vinyl selections!!

    Talking of Jumping, Joan Livsey will be reminding us of some truly memorable nights at Grumpy Soul!!

    Team Ukrainian Fixer/A+R man Simon Ingham, will be digging deep, championing the quality lesser played gems and current monster spins!!

    Lord Ashton Chris Churm will be rounding off a monumental night in fine style, maybe Helga might just let him play just one more record Ssshhh!!

    Lots of messages already, as people eagerly await the night, please, please arrive early!!

    Roger is really looking forward to Saturday, as are we, for more reasons than one! Roger is no stranger to the area, as he lived just down the road in Stalybridge, or Staly Vegas, as it's known locally lol circa 83-86

    He was DJing at most of the major niters of the time including Warrington Parr Hall, Bradford and Loughborough, whilst running soul nights at Stalybridge Celtic Football Club and was a regular DJ at Hyde Botanical Club circa 87/90.

    Roger recalls spending many days at Yanks, formerly Global Records in back Chepstow street, Manchester, a place I visited regularly in the mid 70s. After striking up  a relationship with the owner Ed(Balbier?) he had access to the back vaults, with 1,000s of unsorted boxes of 45s which yielded gems like Harry Starr, Cookie Jackson, Tony Galla , Tony Middleton(Spanish Maiden) and many more WOW!!

    Over time amassing a large haul of 45s filled his then house in Blackpool and led to Roger setting up his record sales business, which you will know, still remains active to this day, on here and at venues up and down the country.

    Other memorable finds included Spyder Turner on goodtime at a short lived record shop in Stalybridge, near the market and infamous "tripe shop" So a bit of a reunion on the cards on Saturday and of course Roger will be selling some quality 45s as well!!

    In the words of Big Maybelle "I just can't wait any longer"!!

    Looking forward to the selections from Roger Banks, this always rocks the floor!! Also watch out for a fascinating insight into Rogers time living just down the road in Stalybridge, some amazing stories, keep your eye on the thread for that and much more!!

    Might be an idea to check the stage for any rogue items hanging around before Roger's on. Remember when he was on in Carl and Maria's room at Middleton, and he came steaming onto the dance floor with an upright vacuum cleaner in full Freddie Mercury mode 😂

    😆

    In the words of The Magnetics, we're literally "counting the days" to Saturday, December 9th at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Bringing the curtain down on a monumental year!! Whilst looking forward to some mouth watering DJ line ups for 2024!!

    As a thank you to The Ashton Faithful, we've secured a later finish, this time running 7pm-1am all for just £5 admission pay on the door. Phil Dunn will be playing the soulful platters to start the night and also be taking your hard earned entrance fee, on what's shaping up to be a real busy one!!

    Luci Jones will be debuting her high octane playlist, aimed squarely at the dancers, so don't miss that!!!

    Jumping Joan is guaranteed to get you up and at 'em on the dancefloor. A few choice examples can be found on the thread, so please have a listen and feel free to RSVP the event!!

    Roger Banks, needs no introduction, well known at all the best venues, all over the UK. I think he will be bringing a few vinyl delights for you to peruse in the "Lounge Lizard" area, with the sound track from the main room, piped through, live and direct!!

    Simon Ingham, Stockport and Team Ukrainian's finest, is primed and ready with a heady mix of current monster spins, while championing the lesser played gems!!

    Chris Churm rounding off a memorable 2023, as this club, just grows and grows!!

    Quite a few people, already booked in at the local hotels, as we celebrate with our Pre-Christmas Special!! Please arrive early to avoid disappointment, see you all there!!

    Simon put me onto this one The US Everyday People and what a little beauty it is.

    It probably resides in the back of his box gathering dust but I suppose that's what happens when there's so many good-uns to choose from. Get it dusted off Si😄

    I've just noticed Jobete so there must be a Motown connection?

     

    As if by magic lol
