The amazing sound and incredible energy of Afrobeats is set to vibrate around St Columb’s Hall at a special fundraising night planned by the Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council for Spring this year.

Feel the Beat: An Afro-Inspired Bank Holiday Celebration will feature top DJs Renzo Rose, DJ Rob and DJ Lui who will play a mix of Afrobeats, amapiano, dancehall, hip-hop, R’n’B and commercial music guaranteed to have you on the dancefloor all night long.

Revealing her plans for Feel the Beat, which will take place on May 25 Mayor Lilian Seenoi Barr said: “I am so excited to bring this night of Afrobeats to St Columb’s Hall. I would encourage everyone to come along and enjoy a night of incredible energy and top tunes. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to an Afrobeats event before, if you love music you’ll love this night.”

The event is planned as a fundraiser for the Bud Club, the charity the Mayor has chosen to support during her year in office. BUD is an inclusive provision for young people with disabilities and specific/complex needs.

Tickets are now on sale and the Mayor is encouraging people to get theirs early to avoid disappointment. She explained: “This night is perfect for anyone who loves energetic music and would enjoy a night full of friendship and positivity. And remember, by buying a ticket you will also be supporting the awesome Bud Club and all the work that they do.  This is all possible because of the sponsorship support given by the Garvan O’Doherty group.

“So get your tickets now and get ready to dance like you have never danced before at Feel the Beat in St Columb’s Hall. I can’t wait to see you all on the dancefloor.”
