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.

Mick, it's worth mentioning Colin was partly responsible along with John Buckley for releasing the brilliant House Bros "Shake" that caused quite a stir on the dancefloor a couple of years ago.

It's lovely that Billy Mailey's getting to use his Sunday name. thumbup

Into the 70s for Colin Law's next selection and one that has gone massive in recent years, but it turns out a very brief Mecca Spin for Colin Curtis, confirmed on a recent radio show, ahead of the game as ever!!

Into Philly and an iconic Artist on the Rare Soul Scene for Billy Mailey's next selection from Cliff Nobles and one that's gaining traction!!

Jumping into July and heading towards our next event at Ashton Ukrainian Club.

Saturday July 19th we are looking forward to True Soul records main man Colin Law, one of the stalwarts of the Shotts Niters and a regular fixture on the scene from The Casino, Stafford TOTW and many more.

Originally from Bedford now resident in Stockport, with an amazing selection of Rare Soul 45s Steve Foran is making his DJ debut at Ashton, looking forward to that!!

Wigan's William Mailey is making a welcome return behind the decks. Billy is a regular at the event and knows the score, once again, some show stopping 45s for the dancers.

Early 70s Detroit for our next selection from Steve Foran and a record that always fills the dance floor!!

Once again a Staggering response already for our Saturday July 19th event at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Manchester really will be jumping as The Gallagher Brothers and Oasis are performing just up the road, in the Sunshiiiine.

For the Rare Soul Fraternity Ashton is the place to be, with Scotland's finest Colin Law looking forward to his debut set with us. I've had a sneak preview of his selections and we're in for a treat!!

Steve Foran resident at Stockport's Edgley Park Soul Club has some Stellar 45s for the Ashton Faithful to move and groove to!!

William Mailey is loving his recent retirement and looking forward to his return set with us, again a real across the board selection from the whole spectrum of Rare Soul!!

Team Ukrainian residents will be under pinning the event Phil Dunn kick starting the night Ashton G.O.A.T Chris Churm will be rounding the proceedings off, with his hugely popular last spot of the evening and Mick Howard will be somewhere in the middle, knitting it all together, once more, a great night in prospect!!

The night runs 7pm-0.30 and just £6 admission pay on the door, is an absolute bargain, we think!!

Many thanks to our regular Brethren and the ever growing band of first time attendees, who make the night what it is!!

Sales Boxes welcome, as the lounge/bar area is usually awash with Rare Soul Vinyl for those looking for that long time want!!

Please check back regularly on our Soul-Source event page thread for any updates and musical additions!!

Finishing the week off in fine style with another selection from Colin Law. A record with a fascinating back story, as most of the rare soul 45s seem to do, the vocalist was serving in the American forces and recorded this while based in Germany. Haunting mid tempo gem !!

Monday Morning rolls round again and Steve Foran provides this weeks Monday Morning Banger. A track from the Halcyon days that has remained Rare WHOOOOSH!!!

Just like Curtis Mayfield, we're "movin' on up" to Saturday July 19th at Ashton Ukrainian Club for our next "Summer Soul Sensation"!!

The man from True Soul records Mr Colin Law is heading South to join us for his Debut DJ set. Colin has been a mainstay behind the decks at some of the biggest events, in the UK and Europe. Expect some truly amazing Rare Soul 45s to be hitting the decks!!

Steve Foran no stranger to our events is also making his DJ Debut, again some "rare as you dare" 45s aimed firmly at the Dance Floor!!

William Mailey has been a busy bee, after retirement, turning over an almighty across the board selection of musical delights, for the assembled masses !!

Please check back regularly on the thread, as we are constantly updating the DJ selections on our Soul-Source event page thread and feel free to RSVP the event.

Judging by the response so far, it's gonna be hot to trot at Ashton!!

The North West is currently basking in the Sunshiiiine, so "don't look back in anger" and head over to Ashton Ukrainian Club on Saturday July 19th Parkas optional, although not advisable !!!

Colin Law is "mad for it" so much so, he's hitting the road South to make his debut behind the decks, prepare to get on that f$uk1n dancefloor !!

Steve Foran is a regular at Ashton and knows the score, with some amazing records that are sure to get The Ashton Faithful "moving and grooving" on the dance floor!!

William Mailey has amassed an awesome array of Rare Soul 45s, playing right across the board after a great Debut set last year, we look forward to his return set, it should be "well mint, our kid" !!

That just leaves Team Ukrainian regulars Chris Churm Phil Dunn and yours truly Mick Howard

Incredible response already so early arrival is advisable as The M60 and surrounding roads are gonna be busy, can't think why?? Lol

The night runs 7pm-00.30 and no dynamic pricing £6 gets you in and immersed in that indefinable atmosphere, that so many have commented on.

Our well stocked Bar/Lounge area is the place to catch up and peruse a whole plethora of Sales boxes.

Please check back regularly via the link to our Soul-Source event page thread, for an ever expanding list of what musical delights to expect on the night and please RSVP the event!!
