Another quality line up, as we approach the half way point in a memorable year at Ashton!! 

After a monumental night in May at Ashton Ukrainian Club, there's no let up as we look forward to yet another Quality DJ line on Saturday June 15th !!

Roger Banks makes a welcome return behind the decks, after an all action, all eras, all styles debut set last year!! Shades of Soul Scribe Derek Pearson will be making his first appearance at Ashton, quality Soul Guaranteed!! Chris Penn one of the original DJs when the whole thing started at Dukinfield Masonic WOW time flies, he always plays a mixed set, aimed firmly at the dance floor!!!

Ashton regular William Mailey will also be making his debut behind the decks, in a Stellar line up (no pressure mate)

Team Ukrainian Residents Phil Dunn who always sets the tone for night in the all important opening set and "The Finisher" Chris Churm will be providing his very popular "last hour" set, always bringing something fresh to the table and I can already hear the "just one more record" requests from the dancefloor.!!

Derek Pearson is really up for his debut set, I'm sure him and Roger will be programming a few classics from the much missed Wilton Ballroom Niters !!

Making the Long journey South down the A1, Chris Penn returns, sure to be some "rare as you dare" platters from the 60s/70s. As a former resident he knows the score to keep the dancers and deck peerers happy!!

Back to Derek's selections, file under Stone Classic and criminally hidden away as the B Side on this UK only release, although I believe the US acetate resides in the Stoke Area??

I believe there's quite a lot of acetates reside in that particular area of Stoke.😂

A wonderful record and I'm told a UK copy now resides in a particular area of Stockport.😀

Yeah there is,what a production !!

Yeah one or three acetates in that hot bed area of Rare Soul collections 

Another stunner from Chris Penn, looks like we're in for a treat on Saturday!!

Worth going just to hear this IMHO... see you Saturday!

I should add, we haven't mentioned Roger Banks yet!! Expect a wide and varied selection, including Album tracks like this, which lit the dancefloor up last time !!!

Dee Pee Rates this late Casino play, with that "tighten up" groove!!

The Build up for Saturday at Ashton Ukrainian Club, has reached fever pitch!! So many messages and enquiries for our Great Little Club. Check out the thread for a taster of what's to come!!

Top Drawer DJ line up for our Loyal Brethren!! Roger Banks makes his second appearance at the club, as a former Regular DJ at local places from the 80s/90s like Hyde Botanical Club, Hyde Allnighter and The Concorde Suite Droylsden amongst others Roger knows the score and ALWAYS Delivers!!

A similar musical journey applies to Chris Penn as a former resident when the event first started at Dukinfield Masonic, always a wide and varied playlist for the dancers!! Derek Pearson is primed and ready to go, with I'm sure a few class spins from The Wilton Ballroom, Bradford Rare Soul Nights and many more!!!

Another Ashton Debutant, regular William Mailey is going to be setting the pace, with an all action early doors set (deffo no pressure mate)

Team Ukrainian founder Chris Churm and Phil Dunn complete a pretty special line up!!! Like we always say, early arrival is a MUST to secure your place in the main room, as the tables get snapped up with a quickness!!

The action starts 7pm and runs till 00.30, just £5 admission gets you through the doors and check out the lounge area, as our vinyl vendors, try to relieve you of your hard earned!!

See you there, you know it makes sense!!!
