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 2025 we're looking once again 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.

The Small but Mighty Soul Club that is the one and only Ashton Ukrainian Club, swings back into action on Saturday May 17th and as promised another Quality Line up awaits the Ashton Faithful!!

Chic Mullineux is back behind the decks after an Astounding Set last time out. I'm sure the Shropshire Soul Crew will be in attendance with That man Ricey leading the charge for the dancefloor!!

John Hillel also makes a welcome return, quality Rare Soul 45s primed and ready for the turntables!!

Ashton Regular Steve Skopek will also adding to what is already a real strong line up, reinforcing the quality collections in the area!!

Simon "The Fixer" Ingham has been adding some quality 45s to what is already an enviable collection, please clink on the link to immerse yourself in a whole raft of Rare Soul 45s on our Soul-Source event page thread, some real gems already for you to check out, for a sample of the aural delights on offer!!

Phil Dunn "The Fire Starter" will as ever be lighting the blue touch paper to propel us into Soul Heaven!! The Man who starts the night off, in his usual accomplished style!!

Add to that Chris Churm # Dyno Rod# The Finisher# Lord Ashton #

Last hour sensations# you know it's gonna be good!!!

We also have the Stockport Answer to Frank Elson Mike Roche our resident hack who in between burning rubber on the dancefloor, has an encyclopaedic memory for all the vinyl nuggets bouncing out of the speakers, his reviews are second to none "checking out the north"

The night runs 7pm-00.30 and £6 admission pay on the door, gets you over the threshold!! We have new attendees arriving monthly, the word is out!!

In the words of Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions "we're rolling on" towards Saturday May 17th for our next date at Ashton Ukrainian Club.

Another Quality DJ line up for The Ashton Faithful, with Shropshire's Favourite Son Chic Mullineux headlining for us!! Sure to be a great night, please follow the link for some "rare as you dare" and just plain good Soul 45s for the dancers to enjoy!!

A Long awaited return behind the decks for John Hillel expect an eclectic mix of current biggies and evergreens from the halcyon days of our scene !!

Steve Skopek from Stockport, that hot bed of Rare Soul Collectors , again some real stunners in his play box!!

Si "The Fixer" Ingham needs no introduction always a fresh and imaginative play list, which backs up some excellent spots over the years, at Culcheth, Keele, Tony's and many more, don't miss that!!

Phil Dunn will be spinning the platters that matter early doors, always a few curve balls for the deck peerers out there!!

Chris Churm Ashton OG is the man in charge of the keenly anticipated last hour special, he never disappoints!!

The night runs 7pm-00.30 and a mere £6 pay on the door gets you involved in all the above and more.

If you're looking for that elusive 45 our very busy record bar/lounge area, may be the place for you.

We're all inclusive at Team Ukrainian and our loyal regulars and ever growing band of new attendees make it all possible!!

Hope to see you there and as promised some amazing DJ line ups yet to come, again check out the link regularly for this and more updates, as we near the date!!

Another Soul Spectacular is on the cards for our Saturday May 17th event at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Phenomenal interest already in the event , as we approach the date!!

Chic Mullineux is really looking forward to his return behind the decks, always a top quality playlist from Shropshire's finest!!

A couple of North West returnee DJs, been a minute for John Hillel and Steve Skopek two guys with Top Notch collections, should be worth the wait !!

Team Ukrainian Fixer# taste maker# tech maestro and non too shabby DJ Si Ingham has a few new additions to an already quality DJ box !!

That just leaves Phil Dunn to open the night for the Ashton Faithful and the vastly under rated Ashton OG Chris Churm who always knows just what's needed to round off the night, please check back regularly via the link to our Soul-Source event page thread as our vinyl portfolio develops, in the lead up to the event !!

As always the lounge area/record bar will be in full swing with the usual array of Sales Boxes for you to browse.

The night runs 7pm-00.30 and just £6 admission pay on the door, hope to see you there !!
