It was my first time inside The Bodega, and it didn’t take long to clock what kind of venue this…
By K Futur MusicDerby’s house heads are in for a proper Sunday session as Mr Shaws House hosts SPIN SUNDAY, a vinyl-only house event built for those who appreciate the real foundations of the sound.
Landing on Sunday 26 April 2026 from 2:00pm to 7:30pm, with entry at just £3, SPIN SUNDAY is all about stripped-back authenticity, no laptops, no sync buttons, just DJs, turntables and carefully selected records. It is the kind of session that leans into the roots of house music while keeping things relaxed, social and sun-soaked in Mr Shaws Yard.
On the decks, James Picton, Chris Goy, Jeremy McLoughlin, Greg Whittingham and James Jackson bring a full spectrum of house flavours, from deep and soulful selections to groove-led minimal and rolling rhythms that carry through the afternoon. Expect warm analogue tones, seamless blends and that unmistakable vinyl character that digital just cannot replicate.

With great beer, a laid-back crowd and the potential for sunshine, this is exactly how a Derby Sunday should sound. Whether you are a dedicated crate digger or just looking for a quality session in the city centre, SPIN SUNDAY delivers a proper atmosphere without the late-night chaos.
It rounds off a strong weekend at Mr Shaws House, with REM Sessions 03: MUSIÇASA taking place today (Saturday), giving the venue a full two-day run of underground house energy. If you are out tonight, make sure you come back the next day and keep it rolling with SPIN SUNDAY.
