About The Event

The Ashton Ukrainian club has gone from strength to strength following the re-launch in 2021 and a move to Saturday night. For 2024 we're looking to continue delivery quality rare and underplayed soul from the residents and ever growing list of outstanding guests.

Speaking of ‘Rare & Underplayed Soul’ we use that phrase to capture what Ashton tries to deliver musically, which is worth expanding upon.

Mainly it's an attempt to move away from the standard music policy strap lines we’re all so used to seeing like; Northern, 60s & 70s, Crossover, Modern, across the board etc. etc. whilst genuinely trying to capture an ethos. The words ‘rare’ and ‘underplayed’ are intended to apply both in their own right and together, it certainly isn't supposed to be limited rare records that are also underplayed……we should have added quality in there too LOL.

In a nutshell you will hear all three combinations of the phrase on any given night at the Ukrainian Club; ‘Rare’ (but not for rarities sake) ‘Underplayed’ (but not because they’re not good enough) and of course ‘Rare & Underplayed’ but, all with one eye on the dancefloor.

We don’t have a music ‘policy’, all our residents & guests are free to express themselves as they wish, which we believe adds to the magic. So simply expect a great night of quality soul music if you ever get the chance to join us at our friendly little club.

I watched the first episode last night, I'm still laughing at it. Brilliant

Talking about the films not the series,,, series tends to ruin the concept of awesomeness that is TED the movie 🤘🥇🤿

Two days till we light the blue touch paper and take off for a heady mix of Rare and Underplayed Soul from a star studded DJ line up at Ashton Ukrainian Club . Saturday April 20th the doors open at 7pm running till 00.30 Although I'm sure our early birds, will be waiting for the doors to open and secure their table and soak up that unique "it" factor atmosphere!!

Really looking forward to Tim Ashibende's debut set, the guy that has played and supplied most of the big sounds from the Halcyon days, right up to present day!!

Gamekeeper Jones also makes his debut, Neil knows the score as a regular attendee at Ashton, should be good!

John Weston will be continuing the birthday celebrations, expect a party atmosphere behind the decks and of course the dancefloor!! Also making his debut West Midlands and Dark Horses regular Les Norman and judging by his previous playlists, another treat for the dancers(what it's all about really)

Team Ukrainian head Honcho Chris Churm and Phil Dunn will be joining the dots and filling in the gaps, you know it's gonna be good!!

All this for just £5 admission pay on the door, no brainer really!!

Sales boxes welcome, as the lounge area is the place to wheel and deal rare soul vinyl and so you don't miss any of the atmosphere and music from the main room, we have our inhouse speaker conveniently located.

Once again, staggering response, please arrive early, as another busy night is expected!!

Realy enjoyed the documentary on Tony’s empress , do you remember a guy called soulie think his name was mark brilliant dancer did all the acrobat style manoeuvres realy good ,but whilst smoking a cigarette , was amazing to watch , not great for the lungs but still an incredibly unusual skill 

I remember being in awe of him watching him dance ...and Mark...and Paul from Harrogate .....just to name a few "proper " dancers that danced TO a record and not AT it.😛.
