Saturday April 20th is the date for your diary, we have another stunning line up of guest DJs waiting for you!! We welcome one of the scene's most respected DJs behind the decks!! Tim Ashibende, who has been playing and providing for eager collectors and DJs, most of the big sounds from the Halcyon days at the casino, through Stafford and beyond and in keeping with the Ashton Ethos, Tim champions some of the quality cheaper sounds, so criminally underplayed!! John Weston and Les Norman make the journey up from the West Midlands, quality soul guaranteed!! Gamekeeper Jones will be making the journey from the Ribble valley for his debut set, look forward to that!! Phil Dunn will be kick starting what's sure to be another packer, early arrival is recommended !!

The night runs 7pm-00.30 and just £5 admission pay on the door. Sales boxes welcome in the lounge area and don't miss a beat, as we pipe the music and atmosphere in from the main room. Can't wait !!!

Ashton Ukrainian Club delivers in spades yet again WOW, What a night!! Definitely something for everyone, in five and half action packed hours. A few of our Ashton Brethren missing, but as ever yet more new attendees, soaking up our unique atmosphere!! Classy opening set from Phil Dunn for the early birds!! Next up making his debut Wilxy played a varied and imaginative set, so glad you enjoyed it mate and a nice gesture for our hard working bar staff!! Luci Jones followed with a great mix of Rhythm and soul and a few classics, Cliff Nobles lit the dance floor up and rightly so!! I followed and really enjoyed myself, mixing the styles and tempos and even managed to squeeze a few requests in, thanks for the positive feedback, it really is appreciated!! Next up the spot of the night for me a strangely rather nervous Alan Jenkins, he needn't have worried, just WOW!! Jaw dropping mix of big hitters and rare soul classics, a video snippet attached below!! Lord Ashton Chris Churm did the honors with his now legendary last hour spot, keeping the assembled masses dancing to the last record, including a few bonus additions, to send everyone happy, job done mate!! Some amazing DJ line ups coming your way, including the May event, we are pleased to welcome Butch, this will be a ticket only event and quite a few reserved already, can't wait. Not forgetting the April event, another great line up including Tim Ashibende, John Weston and Les Norman, see you there!! Ashton March Video.mp4
