ABC WEEKENDER

Amsterdam BeatClub 'The Best Place To Go! Go!'
20th. Anniversary Weekender !!!

In July 2023, we celebrated 20 years of Amsterdam BeatClub with a Weekender and the release of a new 2 LP-set "Amsterdam BeatClub: The Best Place To Go! Go! vol. 3"

What a fantastic ABC Weekender we had: This! Was! Great! From the crazy happening on Saturday Nite in De Nieuwe Anita, with Los Moustros del Espacio Exterior from Mexico, via the sold-out ABC Beat-Boat Canal Cruise on Sunday afternoon, hitting a bridge on it's way, and followed by the release party in Concerto with the superb Jansen & de Vries 4tet, to all the beautiful performances in Paradiso, with icing on the cake a blistering finale of all artists on stage, during the spontaneous superjam on Bonnie St. Claires' "I Surrender" ..it was all great big fun!

Here's what happened (Weekender photo's on this page soon!)
