    ASHTON UKRAINIAN CLUB

    The return of the Ashton Ukrainian continues after a fabulous nights in October & Novemebr we're hoping for another great installment. If you haven't been before here's a potted history from our very own Chris Churm: The club was originally based at the Dukinfield Masonic hall, starting well in January 2017 attended by around 100 guests. Resident DJs were Brian Lester, Chris Churm and Chris Penn. The venue was great with a large dance floor and ran until May 2017 when it moved to the Ukrainian Club, a slightly smaller venue (capacity 130) perfect the type of night we were trying to run delivering a mix of lesser known, rare and under played soul; a bit of everything. The first date was June 2017 and was a great night musically. January 2020 was the 3rd anniversary with guests Phil wainwright and Alex Jones, respected collector/ DJs to entertain us with their fantastic collections and they were superb, and it was one of our best nights. Following that in Feb 2020 Les Harrison (one of our regular DJs) and Geoff Stubbs of Stockport were our guests and were excellent as usual . I must thank Les Harrison and sue who were at our first night in 2017 and have only missed the odd one when he has been booked to DJ at Culcheth and our dates unfortunately clashed . He has also helped us to sort the gremlins in the sound system on a few occasions. Sadly Brian Lester who used to play some great tracks decided to bow out from the scene and our other original DJ maestro Chris Penn moved to the north east, he will be missed ,but he has assured us he will be back to annoy us from time to time to DJ for us. . Here is a list of some of the guys and girls that have played for us and have all taken part in the spirit of our humble Ukrainian club soul evening. Carl and Maria Willingham, John Hillel, Dave Hall, Chris Penn, Brian Lester, Les Harrison, Derek Watmough, Ian Cunliffe, Dave Beech, Carol Burgess, Simon Ingham, Mick Howard, Carol-Ann McCarthy, Geoff Stubbs, Geoff Buckley, Tom Dacey, John Baggaley, Dave Flynn, Les Hare, Mark Tobin, Ged Gibbons and Phil Etchells (sorry if I missed anyone). As we all know in March 2020 (just as our guests Simon Ingham and Mick Howard were ready to DJ for us) the pandemic struck and everything stopped but the restart will pick up where we left off and Simon alongside Mick will be our first guests, hopefully we can bounce back . Post pandemic the club have informed us that for the night to continue it will have to be a Saturday night event, ironically that is what we first wanted and we think could be better for everyone so keep an eye on the soul source calendar for future instalments. We hope everyone is well and can’t wait to see you all again.
    Another great night of quality soul music, well attended by an appreciative and knowledgeable crowd, it was fantastic to see many returning following Octobers installment alongside some of the regulars who were otherwise engaged last month - new faces too which is always a good thing! Musically it was always going to be a night of class with the November line up and it didn't disappoint - an eclectic selection of the rare and underplayed with a few monster dance floor pleasers thrown in for good measure! I'm now looking forwards to December 11th and let's see what Chris has lined up for us behind the decks!!!!
  3. Always reminds me of Roger Banks
  4. Another waiting in the wings from Mr Churm
  5. And this stormer - Chris was one of the first DJs I ever heard drop the needle on it
  6. One ITB and awaiting the wheels of steel on Saturday from Mr Churm
  7. Request for Mr Hilell And I'm sure this is a possible from the legendary Churmster
  8. Following a great night, well attended and fantastic atmosphere the next event is on the 20th November - see link below for details or find it in the Soul Source Events thread
  9. We can have a good time Ste
  10. Another smash from that man Mr Churm (please Chris)
  11. I'm so looking forwards to the 20th already - if the last installment was anything to go by it'll be a great night, superb music is the norm and an appreciative knowledgeable crowd......they even danced to stuff I played at the last one (I paid them LOL) Seriously if a great mix of rare & underplayed quality soul is your bag it's not to be missed
  12. Come on @ChrisChurm you know it makes sense
  13. One from the Watmough stables for the 20th maybe Derek???
  14. And a future spin from Sir Mick of the H
  15. So looking forwards to this night and so happy that the Ukrainian is back on the Soul Calendar - it was an honour to be asked to DJ at the October installment by Chris, and I will enjoy it equally as a punter this time DJ line-up for the night below folks Dave Hall Chris Churm John Hillel Derek Watmough
