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.

"Sweating like a Brick Layers Labourer" (that got your attention) was just one of the comments Natalie Nicholls from another great night at Ashton Ukrainian Club. A quieter night than normal, but remained tip top, musically once again right up there with the best!!

Phil Dunn got the proceedings underway, Terry Callier, Anna King sounded just great. Props to Nigel Rothwell outstanding set on his Ashton Debut, blending 60s bangers William Cummings, Ghetto Children( So Char) and Richard S old Natural Four c/u Gifted Four "are you choosing" sounded the business, great knowledge Derek Smith !!

Chris Churm followed WOW Ivy Jo, Jackey Beavers "a love that never grows old" Tokays + Eddie Kendricks "date with the rain" sublime 70s Soul !!

John Parker once again WHAT a mix Force "Holy Moses" Admirations "you left me" The Cheques all went down a storm!!

Team Ukrainian Fixer Si Ingham kept up the relentless pace Celebrities " I choose you" UK version "tastes sour, don't it" found favor with the dance floor and rightly so!!

Rounding the night off in fine style and for me the Spot of the night Kev Murphy smashed it, keeping the dance floor moving to the last record Honey Bees "let's get together" a non too shabby way to end a great night, mixed in with The Camaros, Lester Tipton and many more, take a bow sir!!

We have another great line up in October with The Grumpy Soul Crew Jumpin' Joan, Phil T and two Wigan Casino legends Ian Wills and Tim Ashibende, sound like your thing? I think so!!!
