WOW,WOW,WOW Ashton Ukrainian delivers again big time. In the current economic climate, people voting with their feet yet again!! We aim to provide a top quality night out and last night was truly humbling to see more new attendees, we had a few of our regulars missing, sorry guys you missed a cracker!! The warm weather meant a few turned up a bit later, so a slow burn , kicked into maybe one of the best we've had and after Phil Dunn opening set, we had a non too shabby early set from Phil Dick rare as you dare, unreleased gems and seldom heard classics meant for a great spot. Derek Watmough followed and kept the assembled masses moving with some great requests programmed in, Intertains "I need your love" hit the spot!! Phil Threlfall up next completed a tale of "three Phil's" first up Appointments "I saw you there" well and truly lit the fuse for a monumental spot. Willie Tee "having so much fun" Purple Mundy and so many more. Tsop Manchester Baz Maleady followed, just when you thought it couldn't get any better? IT DID!!! An absolute master class in selections, presentation and reading the floor, take a bow sir and enjoy the attached video snippet!! Chris Churm finished the night with the usual quality mix, last record?? They were having non of it Cody Black "Mr Blue" finishing a "you had to be there" occasion!! Nice to catch up with Martyn Bradley, memories of the great Albrighton sessions and the fastest delivery driver in the North West Debbie Carty delivering the odd rare soul gem as well as Motor Parts!! Please keep checking back on here for details of our next night, saturday June 17th is the date for your diary!! May 23 Ashton Video.mp4
