"Oh WHAT a night" Steaming Hot, doesn't come close to last night at Ashton Ukrainian Club!! Amazing and varied sets from ALL the DJs , a flying visit from the ever dependable Phil Dunn to get the night underway. Really enjoyed Stephen Morgan set kicking off with Les McCann mean and moody "sad little girl" Mecca Memories with Little Rena Scott, Bettye Swann "when the game is played on you" and many more gems, which hit the spot with the dancefloor. Preston's Gis Southworth came primed and ready with his trusty box of 45s and an array of Head Gear and Moustaches, brilliant!! Great tracks from Vi Campbell, Gerri Hall, Lenny Curtis, Harry Starr all gratefully accepted by an appreciative crowd!! Simon Ingham never fails to deliver Celebrities "I choose you" Hayes Cotton "I'll be waiting" Hopkins Brothers, tune after tune WOWSER!! Next up Andrew Dyson United Sounds "it's all over" New Sounds "don't take your love" sounding really fresh all over again Eddie Billups "ask my heart" just amazing!! Ashton OG Chris Churm AKA "The Finisher" absolutely smashed it, maybe record of the night JD Abram "let me tell you what I want" David Coleman "drown my heart" captured the moment perfectly!! Ashton Faithful and again some more first timers, eager to see what we're about, take a bow!! Considering the warm summer nights and competition, you did us proud, turning up in numbers. Team Ukrainian Salutes you, lots of pics and videos out there already, attached a small snippet, including Stu Cheetham Fan and Hand Bag Dancing, priceless !!
