Posted on behalf of Shane Higgins.... As many of you will know, we lost our good friend Mr Joe Dutton earlier this year. To celebrate the life and times of the great man himself, we are having big party here in Sheffield next Spring. Sunday 1st May 2016 (Bank holiday weekend) Yellow Arch Studios Burton Rd Neepsend, Sheffield http://www.yellowarch.com/ Full details to follow but I can confirm there will be a strong DJ line up playing a wide spectrum of soul music. The King Bee sounds will be well represented alongside Joe's love of all things soulful. We also plan to run an event throughout the afternoon and into the early evening at another venue nearby. This will also feature some great DJs. I will be asking for people to buy tickets as soon as possible once everything is organised. Appreciate your help. Back soon! Shane.

Check out link for a great video on the possible making of a new film about Latin Boogaloo..... http://www.kickstart...-latin-boogaloo Help out if you can, but if you love this music you will love the video clip alone.... site note there was a news item a while back on this project see rest of freebasing news/articles section to read

So, presuming you've found the sellotape and wrapped all your pressies.... as well as eventually fixing those dodgy fairy lights...... what was that one thing you know you've gotta do before putting your feet up for Christmas? Get over to Stoke for Bidds Allnighter on December 22nd of course! With a top line up of DJs playing quality Rare Soul, R&B and the like, in an atmospheric venue.... how could you forget ;) With a good few days to recover, you just know it makes sense Full details below..... The last couple of allnighters at BIDDS really have been spot on, and as word of mouth has encouraged a healthy increase of numbers, coupled with a very loyal and dedicated following, its fair to say that this nighter has gradually been gaining the respect and support it truly deserves. DJ's on this occasion are MICK H, FLANNY, DAVE RIMMER, ROGER BANKS, DES PARKER, JOHNNY BEGGS, TED COULDSTONE and meself.

Not too long to go before our 7th Allnighter at BIDDS in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent. The last one in April was an absolute blinder, so hoping for more of the same on October 6th. This time we welcome 3 Guest DJs making their debut performance behind the infamous suspended decks... Carl Fortnum & Steve Green have IMMENSE collections, and joined by Killa, they will no doubt serve up some TOP quality tunes. Residents Roger Banks and Des Parker need no introduction....they are the anchormen of Bidds (that said anchor ) and constantly strive to mix new discoveries with established favourites. A couple of worthy additions to the resident line-up include Johnny Beggs and Ted Couldstone. Johnny Beggs was the first DJ to spin Rufus Lumleys' Minneaplis Minesota', a raucous track that is only just getting its deserved recognition on the scene...he blew Bidds apart with a right good mix of genres at the April nighter.. expect to hear some latin and boogaloo chucked into his set for good measure. Ted is usually more well known for his highly respected sets on the R&B circuit....but he proved a man of many talents, when his 6.00 a.m. spot of uptempo dancers in April sent the dancefloor into a proper frenzy...he proved a very hard act to follow! Then there's little old me......well as Shawn Elliot once said...'theres always a Joker, in the pack.....' The venue is ideal, the music is varied but equally wonderfull, the record bar is very, very busy, and with Lindas smiling face to greet you and relieve of of just 10 of your hard earned pounds, you know you gotta agree...this is one nighter you really shouldn't miss..... Anyhows...enough of my rambling and tedious hype...full details below. Go on...you know it makes sense..... Saturday 6th October 2007 BIDDS Rare Soul ALLNIGHTER Sutherland Road, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs. DJ's - Carl Fortnum, Steve Green, Roger Banks, Des Parker, Mace Killa, Johnny Beggs, Ted Couldstone. 9.00 p.m. - 7.00 a.m. with a very late bar!

Can't believe its a full year since our first allniter at BIDDS! Another great line-up of DJs to ensure a top quality mix of Rare Soul, Northern, R&B and anything else the DJs wanna throw into the mix. The last one just before Xmas was a fantastic night, and the buzz for this one suggests it's gonna be even better! If you've not made it to the previous 4 allnighters then get along and join us...the venue is wonderfully atmospheric with a large wooden dancefloor, big stage and private carpark...late, late bar and always plenty or record dealers with lots of vinyl....
