First time at Ashton for one of the main men who has provided many of the elusive rare soul 45s to DJs and collectors alike from the latter days of the casino to present day Tim Ashibende also has a non too shabby collection, his appearance is eagerly anticipated!!

John Weston makes his second appearance behind the decks, after a quality debut set last year, expect the unexpected. Joining John another quality DJ from the West Midlands Les Norman , at venues like the very popular Dark Horses All-Nighter,look forward to his selections.

From Deepest Darkest Lancashire Gamekeeper Jones swaps the dancefloor at Ashton for his debut set behind the decks, I know he's looking forward to that as are we!!
