Never a dull night at the Ukrainian and always a genuine pleasure to be asked to get behind the wheels of steel  (thanks Mr Churm ) and a lineup that makes you dig deep for your playlist....rightly!

Looking forwards to it - requests taken happily (Stu Cheetham LOL)

See you all there

Oh they'll be coming in thick and fast, can't beat his Enthusiasm !!

The year is flying by and we have had some Epic nights at Ashton Ukrainian Club!! Only just over two weeks to another mouth watering line up, at the club where quality comes first!!

Saturday September 16th is the date for your diary. We welcome back John Parker from across the Pennines and the hugely successful Blind Pig sessions quality rare soul 45s across The Soul Spectrum guaranteed!!

Another reason for an early arrival is Stockport's finest Simon Ingham who will be doing a rare early doors spot(no warm ups here) Phil Dunn is back with us setting the mood for the evening ahead!!

Bolton's Derek Watmough is back with us, a varied and always appreciated set is assured!! Along with Geoff Stubbs, Ashton main man Chris Churm completes another top drawer line up for The Ashton Faithful. We keep saying this every month, but the support and feedback speaks volumes for the event, many thanks, it really is appreciated!!!

The night runs 7pm-00.30 and in these inflationary times we're in £5 pay on the door is an absolute bargain!!

As ever please keep checking back on the soul-source event page thread, for a flavour of what we're all about and if you haven't yet sampled the clubs heady atmosphere , you will not be disappointed!!

One for the modern room(maybe) had a bit of a revival in recent years and one from the roots of the modern scene!!

Lots of interest in this event, looking like a cracker and maybe an early arrival is advised. One of my personal favourites from the early days at Wigan and still yet to have it's day!!

Quick update, quite a few asking about the running order tomorrow night, particularly Debbie C's spot  Here you go, a few reasons to arrive early !!

7pm-7.45pm Stu Cheetham

7.45pm-8.30pm Debbie Carty

8.30pm-9.30pm Mick Howard

9.30pm-10.30pm Tony Mac

10.30pm-11.30pm Chic

11.30-00.30 Chris Churm

See you at the Go Go!!

The sun is shining and the weekend is nearly on us and an astonishing response to our August date at Ashton Ukrainian Club, on a super busy event page on the Soul Calendar!!

Saturday August 19th the Ashton Faithful will be gathering at The Ukrainian Club for another quality evening of rare and underplayed Soul.

The night runs 7pm-12.30, a mere £5 admission gets you in and you need to arrive early to catch the "mighty Failsworth two" Stu Cheetham kicks things off and he's so excited his hair has started growing back lol , no let up in the pace as Debbie Carty will be smashing out high octane dance floor dynamite and so many people are coming down for her spot(no pressure, Debs)

Top of the night this month, that man Chic Mullineux will be playing right across the Soul Spectrum, some you'll know and some you didn't know you wanted to dance to!!

So pleased to welcome Tony Mac back behind the decks, quality all the way!! Lord Ashton Chris Churm and myself complete the line up!!

Don't forget to check out thread for quality selections from this months guests. Please feel free to RSVP the event!!

Wherever you choose to go to this weekend have a good one!!

Back of the box time, mean and moody Chicago Soul just how we like it!!

Another celebration on saturday, our good friends Dave + Lynn Lowe celebrating fifty years married. Hope you like my selection to mark the event!!!
