May mayhem as we hit the Blacksheep with another belter of a line up.

Downstairs in the Almighty Sweatbox opens up at 8pm with a special Headfunk Film Club presented by skateboard legend John Cattle from Wight Trash.

It's only free entry until 10pm now so get down for some 2-4-1 cocktails, free popcorn and visual brilliance.

Musical guests downstairs are headlined by Born Ina Barn's very own Joe Publik presenting an exclusive live MC/DJ set with some special guests joining him for a showcase of his upcoming solo album.

We are also delighted that we have managed to tempt Krooks out for a rare DJ set. Krooks was holding it down for the Island music scene many years ago with his much-missed Punishment night, bringing the like of Roots Manuva down.

Warm up set comes from Tom Headfunk and live visuals all night from TJC Martin.

Upstairs we have the one and only Cooly Haste bringing his bag of Disco Funk dancing fun plus a promise of some of his own raps and beats as well. Cooly has been rhyming way before most of us could even spell Hip Hop, never mind know what it was but he also does a mean DJ set full of classic or undiscovered groove.

Second guest DJ DJ has a long history of naughty party behaviour. He used to have his own bicycle-powered soundsystem in London Town, which even entertained the masses on a bridge over the Thames on Millennium Eve. He has a box of vinyl that is as eclectic as it is quality.

Supports from Tom Headfunk and DJ Nipsy plus live bongo action from our new resident percussionist Bongo Matt.

Ceiling-scaring sound enforcement from A Higher Sound.

Free entry before 10pm, £2 after.
