YFM thrills crowd with Loud at Shiphauzz

Known for hosting the most epic parties ever, YFM, Ghana’s most innovative urban radio station brought Shiphauzz to a standstill with the maiden edition of the monthly beach concert, which seeks to honour the showbiz industry players who are doing exceptional work that is projecting Ghana on the international scene.
The first edition which took place at the Shiphauzz beach resort, formerly known as Shatta Beach, inside Jamestown on Wednesday 4th of March, 2020 was dubbed ‘Loud at the Shiphauzz’.
‘Loud at the Shiphauzz’ event also saw Nii Ayitey Okine, known in showbiz circles as Black Santino, the godfather of Ghanaian reggae music being honoured for his conscious lyrics, his longevity and his amazing diversity of reggae sub- genres in Ghana.
Epixode, whose real name is Theophilus Nii Arday Otoo, was also celebrated for his selfless contribution to the industry.
Solomon Adu Antwi, popular known Yaa Pono, also received some honours on the day.
Nii Ablorddey Mingle, an ardent listener of YFM who could not contain his excitement shared his thoughts about the event.
‘’ When it comes to beach parties, I like to think of them as more than just enjoying sand and sun, and YFM gave me exactly that. I cannot wait for the next edition. Being out there close to the sea was a rare opportunity for some’’, Nii Ablorddey said.
Programmes Manager, Eddy Blay, speaking at the side lines of the event said:
‘’YFM will be replicating these parties every month to celebrate our key
stakeholders, the musicians and our listeners. It is a pleasure to put together a well-designed event for our listeners to enjoy. That is why we are on-ground and we went on-air at exactly 9:00pm to give our listeners at home a first-hand feel of what is happening on-ground’’, he said.
He also explained why having a surprise act as part of the event.
‘’ When Luther mounted the stage and a lot of people watching the stage, my eyes was just fixed on the faces of the audience. In that moment I couldn’t believe what I was watching: the awe on their face, their looks of surprise, and you could just see it in their eyes, that is what YFM stands for. Leaving lasting memories long after an event has ended’’, Eddy said proudly.
Masters of the turntable AD, DJ and DJ Bone were the disc jockeys for the event.
