Following the sad news of the loss of Chuck Jackson Shaun Gibbons has asked me to post this memory on his behalf:

Shaun Gibbons messaged me today and asked me to post a review on his behalf as a self confessed technophobe 😂 Last night without a doubt, has to be one of the best nights I've ever had at the Ukraine club, well done to Chris and all the guys outstanding. Ps keep it up (please) Shaun Gibbons.

A look back on Gene Chandlers appearance at the Morecambe all-nighter in 1983

I'm sure we can persuade Mr Taylor to dust this one down 🙏

Always a great night and what a line up for February - I recall Alex giving this underplayed gem an airing the last time he was on at Culcheth......works for me AND it's a twofer 🎶

Thoroughly enjoyable - had a great night and on this occasion a chance to visit the modern room as I was on early in the main room, wowser just brilliant As already mentioned packed from when the doors opened - this is a venue that deserves that electric atmosphere so hats off to the team for delivering a fantastic night. Even the corridors had a buzz about them LOL See you all next time

Dave Holt reliably informs me that Chris King played this covered as Bob Hinsleys Strings that night

I gave this one its first outing at Culcheth before lockdown - to my surprise it got a great reaction as something quite a few of the faithful hadn't heard played out before!....job done (accidentally LOL)

I might roll this out if I'm brave enough LOL - not something you hear too often but great Northern none the less IMO?

Not bad BazM - worth a spin if I can fit it in

Lots of scrabbling about in the playbox going on for the Lowton Anniversary - anything could happen 🤔 Requests welcome

Looking forwards to this event immensely - Lowton was the jewel in the crown of soul nights throughout the 90s and up until the venue sadly closed (I think that was 2017?) but Culcheth is a worthy replacement! If the last anniversary was anything to go by it will be rammed so get there early and expect great things from both rooms

For any of you wanting to remind yourselves of the magic from the Morcambe years (or even discover it for the first time) this show from the man himself (Richard Searling) is a musical tribute the the fabulous Morecambe Pier All-Nighters, 1983-1986. After Wigan Casino closed, these events kept the Northern Soul flag flying high in the North-West with an amazing mix of classic Northern and high-quality Modern Soul sounds. You can catch up with many more of Richards radio shows by following him at: www.mixcloud.com/spurs1961.

Another great episode in the Ashton Ukrainian story - well I enjoyed it Great attendance especially considering the footy and weather which is a sign of the quality of the night methinks! A bit late, but here's my playlist - always great to be able to throw some of the underplayed and less obvious in and DJ with an appreciative crowd........so thanks to all who attended and make it a special night month after month.
