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.

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"!!

ASHTON UKRAINIAN CLUB
Just over a week to the first Ashton Ukrainian Club of 2024. Saturday January 20th is the date for your diary.
Another classy line up to mark the occasion, looking forward to Kieron Taz Robathan and his debut set!! Check back regularly on the soul-source event page thread, for a few sample snippets from our guest DJs.
Dolly will be another Ashton Debutant, lots of interest already, so no pressure lol. John Hillel will be treating us to some rare soul gems, it's been a while!! Pete Hollander is already posting up some tasty selections, to look forward to on the night!!
Lord Ashton Chris Churm and Phil Dunn complete the line up!! Got to say the response so far is phenomenal, lots of RSVP and messages, so early arrival is recommended!!!
The night as ever runs 7pm-00.30 and a mere £5 gets you in on the action!!
