Sunshine Soul on a Saturday Night, May 17th at Ashton Ukrainian Club !! It's reaching boiling point on here. An Oasis of Soul Heaven awaits !! With some prime 45 selections and the odd killer album cut, like this killer Motown Dancer !!

Monday Morning Banger time, once again dipping into Chic's playbox, blue eyed Soul at it's best!!

Sunshine Soul for a Sunny Day, an iconic record that crosses boundaries and has history on our scene, from the latter years at The Casino and yet another Pearl from that man Chic !!

Another Soul Spectacular is on the cards for our Saturday May 17th event at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Phenomenal interest already in the event , as we approach the date!! Chic Mullineux is really looking forward to his return behind the decks, always a top quality playlist from Shropshire's finest!! A couple of North West returnee DJs, been a minute for John Hillel and Steve Skopek two guys with Top Notch collections, should be worth the wait !! Team Ukrainian Fixer# taste maker# tech maestro and non too shabby DJ Si Ingham has a few new additions to an already quality DJ box !! That just leaves Phil Dunn to open the night for the Ashton Faithful and the vastly under rated Ashton OG Chris Churm who always knows just what's needed to round off the night, please check back regularly via the link to our Soul-Source event page thread as our vinyl portfolio develops, in the lead up to the event !! As always the lounge area/record bar will be in full swing with the usual array of Sales Boxes for you to browse. The night runs 7pm-00.30 and just £6 admission pay on the door, hope to see you there !!

Ashton Ukrainian OG Chris Churm always delivers the much anticipated last hour gems, this was the closing record last time out !!

File under Stone Classic, blinding mid-tempo from Si Ingham's playbox !!

A record that has history on our scene, as early as The Casino, with that "just right for now" feel, with a funky edge and another gem from Chic !!

A busy Bank Holiday has delayed our Monday Morning Banger, let's put that right from The Fixer's playbox DOUBLE WHOOOSH!!

A very busy and enjoyable night at The Grumpy takeover, top tuneage throughout. We arrived just after opening time, to an already busy room. Great early sets from Joan and Phil, have to say Carl Fortnum nailed it for me, that happy knack of playing the right record and tempo that captured the imagination of the dancefloor talking of which, record of the night for me, assume c/u Doc + The Interns "the love that you give" Any info, such a great record, complete with guitar breaks. Had a brief time in the Modern Room and Soul Sam was "rockin' da house" as you would expect. Great to catch up with our good Friends Ann Mundey and Tony Mundey. C'mon Mike Roche let's have a detailed review and playlist. Culcheth deffo on the up, look forward to next month !!

Ending the week on a high, courtesy of Simon Ingham and Hayes Cotton with the Alternate Version of "Black Wings" !!

In the words of Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions "we're rolling on" towards Saturday May 17th for our next date at Ashton Ukrainian Club. Another Quality DJ line up for The Ashton Faithful, with Shropshire's Favourite Son Chic Mullineux headlining for us!! Sure to be a great night, please follow the link for some "rare as you dare" and just plain good Soul 45s for the dancers to enjoy!! A Long awaited return behind the decks for John Hillel expect an eclectic mix of current biggies and evergreens from the halcyon days of our scene !! Steve Skopek from Stockport, that hot bed of Rare Soul Collectors , again some real stunners in his play box!! Si "The Fixer" Ingham needs no introduction always a fresh and imaginative play list, which backs up some excellent spots over the years, at Culcheth, Keele, Tony's and many more, don't miss that!! Phil Dunn will be spinning the platters that matter early doors, always a few curve balls for the deck peerers out there!! Chris Churm Ashton OG is the man in charge of the keenly anticipated last hour special, he never disappoints!! The night runs 7pm-00.30 and a mere £6 pay on the door gets you involved in all the above and more. If you're looking for that elusive 45 our very busy record bar/lounge area, may be the place for you. We're all inclusive at Team Ukrainian and our loyal regulars and ever growing band of new attendees make it all possible!! Hope to see you there and as promised some amazing DJ line ups yet to come, again check out the link regularly for this and more updates, as we near the date!!

MAY the force be with you, or is it May 17th?? Just over two weeks to go and some amazing selections from our Guest and Resident DJs !! Dancing in Detroit with "The Fixer" TwoFer of course 😉

Once again dipping into the Treasure Trove, that is Chic's playbox and a Rare Soul Iconic 45 from Toledo Ohio !!

Back to Si "the fixer" Ingham's selections and one that's been "doing the do" on the dancefloors for the last few years, just oozing atmosphere!!
