Nice one Stu.

The Start of a new week and a Stu Cheetham Fave Spin, just oozing atmosphere!!!

Simon "The Fixer" Ingham always delivers a varied and interesting set. A classic from the latter days at The Casino and still creates a stir on the dancefloor!!

A DAB of Rare Soul on The North West Side, a little over a week to the Next event at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Saturday September 20th.

Incredible response once again on the different platforms!! The Musical accompaniment to our promotions seems to be gaining favour, for this and so much more, click on the link at the bottom of the post for an amazing Soulful Soundtrack and a bit of banter, on our Soul-Source event page thread!!

Absolutely bazzin this record 👌🕺🏻

Only three words can describe this soul night

Mid Tempo par excellence for the next beauty from Chris Anderton WHOOOOSH!!

Saturday September 20th Ashton Ukrainian Club, presents a night of Rare and Underplayed Soul from the 60s/70s with that Old School Soul Club Vibe, from the halcyon days, with memories of iconic venues like Bretby, Albrighton, Lowton, Tony's, Burnley and so many more!!!

Sound like your thing? For a sample of classy selections from our resident and Guest DJs please click on the link at the end of the post and head over to our Soul-Source event page thread !!

Chris Anderton will be dipping into some of the big tunes from the aforementioned Clubs and of course a DAB of Crossover/70s Soul!!

Michael Wilks "WILXY" delivered a real classy set last time out, more of the same sir!!

Providing the energy early doors, we look forward to Stu Cheetham with a set heavily influenced from his time behind the decks at Burnley and a regular Niter Attendee at the much missed Tony's. Soul with attitude for the dancers, just how we like it.

If you were at the recent Culcheth Dayer you'll be aware of the quality that Si Ingham brings to the occasion. He was the guiding light for the much missed Kenwood Suite at The Bury Town Hall Niters, those sessions still talked about in glowing terms!!

Chris Churm and Phil Dunn complete another classy line up, as promised we have some more quality Guests booked for the coming months, more news of which, as we near the dates!!

So Five and a Half hours of quality Soul Music is waiting for you and just £6 admission pay on the door. The night runs 7pm-00.30

Looking forward to welcoming our regular Ashton Brethren and our ever growing list of first time attendees !!

Bringing that Friday Feeling and ending on a high, we're off to The West Coast, with an Iconic Soulstress with an amazing back catalogue of our music, from Lord Ashton AKA Chris Churm's playbox !!

Just found this the ::::::

World Northern Soul Dancing champion 🕺🏽💃🏼😂

is this a real thing

The world championship of northern soul dancing or is someone taking the piss

Who was the judge

Back drop Barry

Spinny mc Spinnysen

Hand stand Harry

or the legend himself

Truffle shuffle Terry

These are the only judges worthy of such a high level competition 🕺🏻💃🏼

If it wasn’t them it’s a bootleg 😎

this is the winning couple

Talcy malc & Annie Fet Armin

Stu forget The World Dancing Contests, if you can't dance like Billy Preston then what's the point entering the competition. I hope somebody told Ray Charles how great Billy was doing the soft shoe shuffle.

I've posted that video a couple of times over the years mate and it always brings a smile to my face. To be honest I needed a different image in my head than that pair of hairy b******s you'd posted.😆

Stu, I remember in the 90's the original Manifesto magazine ran a spoof ad for Talcy Turnups, which was a pair of baggy trousers that spread out talcum powder from, can you guess where, when you did your spins/moves. Dennis ran the ads for quite a few editions.😃

Stu the answer is from your turnups.
