This year's Boss Sounds Festival will be the Red Stripe Boss Sounds Festival after the Jumpin' Hot Club secured a deal with the famous Jamaican brewer. Headlining this year's festival will be Roots Legend Freddie McGregor and Undoubtedly one of Jamaica's finest vocal trios The Congos (21st June) and Ska King Derrick Morgan in a superb double bill with Ska legend Owen Gray (20th June). For this years festival the organisers are taking over the whole of the Cluny building with the main venue and Cluny 2 being called into action.
The festival will also feature for the first time outside Jamaica, "The Reggae Film Festival" which will see some of the greatest reggae films ever made screened at the Tyneside Cinema.
