A bit of a Whirlwind last night, in the words of Tim Ashibende a real diverse mix of music. All kicked off by Phil Dunn as always a varied and interesting mix. Debutant DJ Gamekeeper Jones followed quality soul from the early 60s "toast to the lady" sounded great all over again and the brilliant Paul Sindab "I was a fool" the stand out tracks for me. We had a two hour double deck session from birthday boy John Weston and Les Norman Barbara Hall "big man" not a bad start to the proceedings Clarence Hill "a lot of loving going round" and many more right across the spectrum of rare soul!! Cometh the hour cometh the man Tim Ashibende absolutely smashed it, kicking with a few classic detroit bangers "Down in the Dumps" and just class rare soul like Virginia Blakely "let nobody love you" sounded the business, loud and proud!! Lord Ashton Chris Churm did his customary last hour, well half hour last night!! We are just collating the figures from the ticket sales for our May Special Event, when we welcome Numero Uno Rare Soul DJ bUTCH You know it's gonna be good, we'll advise on here and soul-source any availability for tickets!!

Boil wash and too long in the dryer??

Two days till we light the blue touch paper and take off for a heady mix of Rare and Underplayed Soul from a star studded DJ line up at Ashton Ukrainian Club . Saturday April 20th the doors open at 7pm running till 00.30 Although I'm sure our early birds, will be waiting for the doors to open and secure their table and soak up that unique "it" factor atmosphere!! Really looking forward to Tim Ashibende's debut set, the guy that has played and supplied most of the big sounds from the Halcyon days, right up to present day!! Gamekeeper Jones also makes his debut, Neil knows the score as a regular attendee at Ashton, should be good! John Weston will be continuing the birthday celebrations, expect a party atmosphere behind the decks and of course the dancefloor!! Also making his debut West Midlands and Dark Horses regular Les Norman and judging by his previous playlists, another treat for the dancers(what it's all about really) Team Ukrainian head Honcho Chris Churm and Phil Dunn will be joining the dots and filling in the gaps, you know it's gonna be good!! All this for just £5 admission pay on the door, no brainer really!! Sales boxes welcome, as the lounge area is the place to wheel and deal rare soul vinyl and so you don't miss any of the atmosphere and music from the main room, we have our inhouse speaker conveniently located. Once again, staggering response, please arrive early, as another busy night is expected!!
