There are so many good things about this event- the kids are entertained, and they can meet other kids while listening to the music. Us parents can have a chat and a nice drink as well\u2019\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Diddy Dub will next be returning to the Crookes Social Club on the 16th of March for a pre-easter party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crookes Social Club is embracing the spirit of \u2018one love\u2019 with a new reggae event for all the family.&nbsp; The \u201cDiddy Dub\u201d event encourages parents and children to enjoy a mixture of reggae, dub and jungle music, provided by the Jahden of Tallulah Soundsystem, courtesy of hosts PA parties.
