Bidds, Quality & Rarity 06.02.2010

BIDDS, QUALITY & RARITY Finally we managed to fit a Bidds all-nighter in and wow did we have a cracking time. Loads of familiar faces and welcoming arms, it was just superb. The venue itself has a large wooden dance floor, a very late bar and ample parking facilities, just what you need for a successful all-nighter. The music policy is basically rare quality soul with a hint of R&B and some really nice Latin movers, many of which would be on everyone's wants list. All the DJ's played superb sets, Roger Banks, Mace and Rob Smith really played sets that were of a great liking to my personal tastes. Johnny Beggs played some of the finest Latin and soul tracks I've heard in a long while. Alex Jones and Killa played interesting sets, unfortunately we missed Ted Couldstone but I could well imagine he would have blended it all together nicely. This all-nighter does exactly what it says on the tin with the emphasis being on quality. How could you not want to go to a venue that plays tracks like these, Royal Robins – Something about you that sends me, Sparkles – Try Love, Brooks Brothers – Looking for a woman, Hector Rivera – A chance for romance, Harvey Averne – Never learned to dance, Fascinators – In other words, Thornton Sisters – I keep forgetting, Bobby Valentin – Use it before you lose it, an alternate version of the Tranells – Blessed with a love that was better than the released cut and the Kinetics plus loads more. Will we be going back for more on May 8^th with guests Andy Dyson and Mick H, you bet we will. Thanks to Mace and all for a terrific night, get a long and give them your support on May 8^th, put it in your diary, stick it on your fridge and on your note book, don't miss this upfront all-nighter.

First time for me at Bidds & I loved every minute of it. Such a friendly place with a good variety of tunes that keeps you on your toes.

Sadly I can't make the May one but I'm definitely gonna make the rest.
