Well on a sweltering hot night and another crazy busy Soul Event Calendar, we still had a busy old night. The really encouraging thing is when a few of our regulars were unable to attend, we had lots of new faces, eager to see what we're all about. Respect to the dancers, in the sauna like conditions, you did us proud!! Team Ukrainian Phil Dunn Chris Churm and Mick Howard covered the early part of the night, before Guy Hennigan took to the stage a couple of his recent finds really caught the ear "I love you 1,000 times and the awesome Westbrook Singers, mixed in with the evergreens, The Carressors, Johnny James and J.D. Abram "doctor of love" sounded good to these ears!! Steve Thomas played an amazing last hour spot, playing just what the dancefloor needed Jimmy Fraser, the timeless Latin Classic Tony Middleton "spanish maiden" and Crossover Class from Vickie Labbatt. Just a great night and if you weren't there, you missed a cracker. Looking forward to welcoming Scotland's finest Colin Law for our July event, more details, as we approach the event. Once again thanks so much to The Ashton Faithful and of course, our first time attendees, you make the night, what it is !!!
