All aboard for Ireland's only breakbeat party on a ship, Beatsahoy!

Beatsahoy! makes its first sea voyage of 2002 on Saturday, March 30th. Join DJs CHAZ, JONNIE and guest SIMIE (Head - Manchester) as they throw down and cut up huge slatterns of funk for your ass shaking enjoyment.

The boat now leaves Derry's quay at 9pm and returns after 1am. Boarding/Bar open from 8.15pm. Drinks promotions and complimentary Beatsahoy sickbags are available! No ticket required -but be early to be sure of getting on. Passage/entry £10. Easy hearts and chilled souls only.

Details/dates for all Beatsahoy's boat nights are listed on the newly (finally) updated website www.beatsahoy.com which also boasts a section (designed to grow) of original, unreleased tracks from local/Irish producers who are or have played on the boat.

Beatsahoy! held it's first night in April 2001. The club is Ireland's only floating funky breaks club. It sails out throughout the summer months from the quayside in Derry City to Greencastle in county Donegal. The resident DJs - Chaz and Jonny, who between them have been playing for over 16 years, have evolved a unique DJing style to compliment the fact that they are playing to an audience on a boat. Their style has been nicknamed 'boatbeat' by local audiences. Guest DJs who play the boat are always put totally at ease by the wild, but extremely friendly regulars.

For those afraid of water, you can also catch the Beatsahoy residents regularly at Sandinos Cafe Bar in Derry, also at different venues in Belfast and elsewhere in Ireland. For more details see:
