Me and @jamie.stevens96 are celebrating our 30th birthday next week and we're doing a big silly celebration at @thegraftonmanchester
We've got live sets from me and him and @sleepingducks
+ retro games on't big screen and the stage set for anyone who wants to play some tunes (live or DJ)
Open to EVERYONE as long as ur sound. 3pm till as late as we can manage xx
(I've not posted enough on here about this yet, soz)
TONIGHT - our first gig of 2026 at the Station in Ashton!
• First show with our new lineup ft. @tuesdaysg1rl on sax and @killamanjaro_dubs on drums
• Raising funds for We Shall Overcome, to support vital outreach work
• @djaslan2401 spinning tunes in between acts!
Doors are at 7pm, @gavinthegoliath1 is on first. It's gonna be something special 🦆
We're pleased to say we'll be joined by @gavinthegoliath1 and @djaslan2401 on Saturday at the Station!
Gavin is a unique performer; blending anti-capitalist acoustic punk with sample-driven DnB and the occasional puppet show. His unforgettable live act is not to be missed!
DJ Aslan is one of our absolute favourites selectas in this city. If you've been to one of our gigs lately, you will have heard his sets ranging from roots reggae and Trojan ska all the way to dancehall. He'll be bringing the vibes from doors and in between both live sets.
Free entry • donations very much encouraged to We Shall Overcome
It's less than a week till our first gig of 2026, and here is just one of the reasons why we've chosen The Station...
The care, love and support Pauline Town and her team provide for homeless and vulnerable people is remarkable. To offer somewhere to turn when there's nobody else to go, in these increasingly tough times (and this horrible weather) - it's just vital right now.
We will be courting donations at this gig, but even just coming in and spending money at the bar helps these incredible people keep doing what they're doing.
It helps, of course, that's it's a proper good pub!
We can't wait for next Saturday 🦆
The first mix from our NYE session at the @bagfactorymcr is now live on YouTube 🫡
Union Sound System regulars @sleepingducks brought the best energy as usual with some silly dub and UKG selections 🔥

Next UNION:SESSIONS - 14th Feb Valentines Day Party
Our first gig of 2026 will be at the legendary Station Hotel in Ashton on February 21st, raising funds for We Shall Overcome ✊
The Station does incredible work as a 'pub-hub', providing essential support to vulnerable people in Tameside. We're thrilled to be playing at the pub, and even more so to be raising funds for such a worthy cause!
We'll be debuting a new lineup and some new tunes, and will be joined by some fantastic acts - keep an eye out for further announcements.
🦆 FREE ENTRY / DONATIONS ENCOURAGED 🦆
