Only the east lancs to contend with now, win, win 😆

😂 Phil what was that time Andy Rix was DJing and rang two hours later after he left the club, to say he was STILL on the Runcorn expressway 🤣

🤣

Looking forward to this AND REALLY looking forward to not doing battle with the Runcorn expressway 🤣

WOW !! Two years since the re-launch at Ashton Ukrainian Club was celebrated in fine style. This club has continued on an upward trajectory with last night, high on the you had to be there nights!! Phil Dunn played a great opening set, with real good mix of forgotten oldies and current spins!! Stu Cheetham owned the super sub status in his usual high energy style, dragging folk to the dancefloor a great start to the proceedings!! Kev Murphy followed and pulled some real gems out for the dancers "I'm your yes man" Edith Brown "you did it" amongst so many!! Chris Penn followed and he didn't disappoint some heavy weight 60s dancers and cool 70s dancers particularly Little Reuben hit the sweet spot!! well done that man!! Mark Jones was making his debut and went straight into the fray The Professionals, not a bad opening number!! Superbs "wind in my sails" and many more over a slightly extended set! Lord Ashton Chris Churm sent the Ashton Faithful home singing and dancing kicking off with Moses Smith "come on let me love you" Chimes "beginning of my life " sounded just right for the moment, ending with with classics like The Ascots "another day" you get the picture!! Great to see Alan Jenkins raring to go again with this insatiable disease/desire we all have collecting "Black Gold" it's a madness but we love it!! Nice to catch up with Paul Baldwin one of the lynch pins of the much missed Lowton Civic hall nights!! Our next night November 18th promises more of the same, when we welcome Steve Thomas and Chris Anderton as our guest DJs, please check out the updates on Facebook and soul-source, once again humble thanks for making us your venue of choice!!

Kev Murphy will be delving deep into his collection, some real stunners lined up for you ! Chris Penn makes the loooong journey back down the A1 from the North East, some classy crossover and rare as you dare dance floor winners coming your way, so don't miss that. An all too rare appearance from Pete Hollander completes the guest DJs with Phil Dunn and Chris Churm starting and finishing the night respectively in fine style!! We are still one of the best value for money monthly nights out there, a mere five English pounds, gets you a slice of the action. Running 7pm-00.30 . As ever please arrive early to avoid disappointment. Sales boxes most welcome in the "lounge lizard" area. A truly great night awaits, see you there!!!
