    AIRBOUND LONDON 2011
    Saturday April 23

    Airbound will be returning to London on the Easter Bank Holiday weekend to throw a mammoth 24 hour party, on a boat, in a club and winding down in a seedy little east end boozer. Ramping up significantly on last year’s festivities, the boat – which will again be the centrepiece of the event – will be larger and will have two floors of music. The boat will set sail on the River Thames for four hours, taking in breathtaking views of some of London’s most iconic sites, such as Westminister, Big Ben and Tower Bridge – an ideal way to see London, while getting down to a soundtrack of funk, soul, disco, house and beyond.

    After the boat party draws to a close there will be an exclusive Airbound after party held in one of London’s most popular venues; Corsica Studios, which is a stones throw from where the boat moors.

    As part of a much expanded line-up this year Bodytonic, Downtown Sounds, Shock and Nightflight DJs will be joined by London based brass outfit, Brassroots and Ireland’s answer to Mr Scruff, Kormac. There are many more acts to be added to the line-up over the coming weeks.
    Headlining the party will be Brassroots, a 9 piece brass band formed by American trombonist Jerome Harper. Exploding onto the scene in 2010 with their cover version of Inner City’s ‘Good Life’ they have featured at some of the UK’s top festivals like Bestival, Lovebox, Glasto, The London Jazz Festival and Scala. The guys bring pure energy when they play, and with their covers of Radiohead, White Stripes, Michael Jackson and Good Life nestled along side some original pieces they put on one hell of a show.

    Dublin born DJ and Producer Kormac will be joining Brassroots on the bill, and he will be treating the Airbound faithful to one of his unique scratched-up genre-bending, dancefloor orientated dj sets. Having performed at some of the largest festivals across Ireland and the UK, including a scintillating set at Glastonbury with his Big Band, an 11 piece orchestra, he has garnered a solid fan base and is no stranger to entertaining a discerning audience.

    Tickets are £15. The Boat Party sold out well in advance last year, so grab them quick while they are still available from:
