This could deffo get a spin on Saturday and once again props to Tim Ashibende, at a recent Ashton, it turned a few heads for sure!!!

We have the OG DJ who first broke this record on the scene, or certainly one of the first !! The Man From Soul (Newark) Dean Anderson, Carolinas Soul at it's finest, be rude not to give it a Spin !!!

A pleasant surprise spin from Chris Churm a few Ashton's ago, hard hitting dance floor dynamite!!

Some quality selections so far, for more insight and chat, take a listen to our other guest DJ Dean Anderson and his excellent Thursday night Radio Show "sound of soul" on Radio Newark 8pm-10pm This weeks special guests Alan Jenkins and Natalie Nicholls, expect quality Soul Music and the odd shameless plug or three!!!

Storming Soul from the Windy C and one that might get a spin on Saturday, fantastic double sider!!!!

We're into December, not far off the event and as we like to do start of the week, a wake up call from Alan Jenkins. A record originally played as far back as the latter days of Wigan, courtesy of Gary Rushbrook and has remained rare and always in demand with collectors and the dancers !!

Ending the week on a high, with an iconic Rarity from the early days AND courtesy of Alan Jenkins, we get to experience it loud and proud!!

Was this one of the tracks?

Think Baz can help, there was a Japanese P Vine album, with I believe the said tracks ??

Power House intro and production !!

WOW!!! Staggering response already, to our December event at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Please note we run a week earlier than our normal third Saturday in the month, due to club commitments.

Lord Ashton Chris Churm is back with us, after taking a well deserved rest in November, along with Mick Howard (who??) from Team Ukrainian to complete the line up!! The bar area will be doing a brisk trade in Quality Ukrainian Beverages and the odd bit of Quality Soul 45s from the various sales boxes!! The night runs 7pm-00.30 and £5 gets you into our Pre-Christmas celebrations, please arrive early !!

A Big Bad Bob Hinsley spin as I recall and one I got for a bargain price off Soul Bowl, sadly no longer in the collection!!

Proving the point Quality doesn't have to cost £££s From an artist that has provided two Iconic dancers that shook the scene, take a listen to this !!!

Quality all the way Natalie, ditto the next selection, using artistic licence from me, from Alan's play box!!

Another stormer from Alan Jenkins, DOUBLE WHOOSH!!

Should be a great mix of sounds, like this, initially played for the other side "image of a man" but as the saying goes "flip 'em over"

In the Gospel Groove, a firm favourite at Ashton Ukrainian Club !!

Another one of Natalie's favourites and mine too Mr Bobby Blue Bland !!

Nice to see some of our regular contributors from the BVAN days, good to see Martin L + Wilxy joining us. Ashton Head Honcho is back behind the decks after missing our November Spectacular, expect classic Rare Soul like this!!

One more from the Album only releases, always rated this and wish it made a 45 release!!

A meeting of the minds!! If you haven't yet tried Culcheth, what are you waiting for? Two great rooms, this month a flavour of Team Ukrainian, what's not to like!!

Once again, as we like to do, starting the week with a BANG!! Courtesy of Alan Jenkins Mello Souls !!!
