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.

Customary Monday Morning Banger to start the week, from Simon Ingham and a slab of uptempo feelgood Soul and proving if proof was needed that they don't have to cost a fortune, tucked away on the flip of an old Torch Favourite!!

Ashton Ukrainian Club brings you a Quality Rare Soul Night!! Saturday September 20th is the date for your diary.

Chris Anderton is heading over to bring us some of the popular spins from the 90s Rare Soul Clubs, at Iconic Venues like Albrighton and Bretby, amongst others and a healthy DAB of 70s Soul.

Michael Wilks AKA Wilxy is looking forward to his return set, after an entertaining spot last year, with huge nod to The Motor City in his extensive playlist!!

Stu Cheetham is chomping at the bit, to get behind the decks once again. All Action Soul Music, you just gotta dance to!!

Simon Ingham makes a welcome return, after a recent power house set at The Recent Whitchurch Soul Club event. You can find some samples of that, by clicking the link at the bottom of this post, which takes you to our Soul-Source event page thread. The musical selections are added to on a daily basis!!

Team Ukrainian Residents Phil Dunn and Lord Ashton AKA Chris Churm complete the line, another phenomenal response so far, from The Ashton Brethren, can't be bad!!

I did that venue a few times mate, it was always a good crowd. Was it about that time when you had the right-on fist shaved into the back of your hair. I'm surprised you haven't brought it up to date and had it tattooed onto the back of your head. 😄

Thanks for the memory mate.thumbsup

We're ending the week on a high, originally played in the Halcyon period of the mid 70s and even booted on a 45. In truth it was always an album track and WHAT an album "DAB of Soul" and as we have the man responsible for The DAB weekends it's only fitting Chris Anderton should include this in his playlist!!
