Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers
Line-up
Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers
Spiritual funk explosion by a ten-piece band.
During ADE, Arp Frique and his ten-piece band transform our venue into a sanctuary of funk and gospel. Under the alias Arp Frique, Niels Nieuborg’s P-funk and gospel disco follow a clear recipe: vintage synths, sparkling bass lines, and swirling guitars.
Together with his band, Frique joins forces with a range of powerful vocalists: preacher’s son Brandon Delagraentiss from Texas and Rocq-E Harrell from LA, who has performed with legends like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and Earth, Wind & Fire. Delagraentiss leads a choir called The Gospel Experience, with several of its members also taking our stage
“The funk circus called ‘Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers’ is ready for take-off.”
Niels Nieuborg (Arp Frique) guitar, Marilonah Copra bass, Tez Thompson guitar/keys, Timothy Banchet keys, Noah Bouman drums, Marissa Nyamekye vocals, Rocq-E Harrell vocals, Brandon Delagraentiss vocals, Charmaine Charlemagne vocals, Jerelee Joanne Tholel vocals.
The BIMHUIS is the place for pioneering musicians and curious listeners of all generations. It was founded in 1974 as a place to give Dutch jazz its own stage. Soon, it became one of the most important Dutch stages for improvised music. Nowadays, the liberal jazz blood has remained: in the BIMHUIS, rules are still being broken, holy houses kicked down and so-called boundaries crossed.

Not to worry! Make sure to contact the event (or their ticketing provider) you are visiting as soon as possible with as many details about your order; name, email address, amount of tickets, etc. Once they've recovered your order, the tickets can be resent to your email.
Need help to find your event's contact details? Message us at [email protected] and we'll be happy to help.
Most festival events have an age limit of 18+ (and sometimes even 21+ or 23+). These are Dutch governmental rules which state that below the age of 18 you are not allowed to enter a club.
Please double-check the promoter's or venue's website to be sure you can access the event!
Yes, the ADE Pro Pass grants you access to all ADE official festival events.
Be aware though that there are over 1,200 events during ADE that you can enter with the Pro Pass wristband and that ADE cannot guarantee access. There is a limited capacity that each venue can take into account for Pro Pass holders. This means for some of the more crowded events you have to arrive early. Once capacity is reached, we will go over in a full-for-now policy. The festival event organizer will decide when and if more people are allowed to go in.
The ADE Pro Pass is the perfect fit if you are planning on enjoying the combination of day and night events. If you want guaranteed access to a particular festival event, we advise you to get a single festival ticket instead.
We dance together, so please be mindful of yourself and each other. We expect an open attitude from our visitors towards other guests, regardless of their origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion and age. If you see or experience any unwanted attention, harassment or behavior of any kind that makes you uncomfortable, please speak out and notify staff.
Please keep in mind: we love being your annual host, therefore, we would like to ask you to enjoy yourself responsibly.
