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!!

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 !!

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.

I couldn't say for certain Mick, but I can tell you that I asked Brian to play it so often in the early/mid-90s he gave me this copy LOL

On a personal note it would be amiss of me not to mention the passing of the wonderful Brian Rae. On Saturday I'm planning to give these 2 gems a spin which sit in pride of place the playbox.

Rare Soul History right there, wonder whether The Gospel Classics in the picture graced the turntables at Whitworth Street?
