Mr Scruff

A lot of things have happened since a young Andy Carthy started answering to the name Mr Scruff - making a name for himself under the shadow Manchester's mid 90s club scene. Not only has he released three critically acclaimed albums, including 1999's monstrous 'Keep It Unreal' and 2002’s ‘Trouser Jazz’, but with countless tours and club events he has cemented his 'legendary' DJ status (an accolade thrust upon our self depreciating hero by his adoring public, rather than media based analysts). This is a DJ that can sell out the 1600 capacity London Forum armed only with his records, some turntables and a few spare packets of teabags.Mr Scruff’s 'Keep It Unreal' nights cover a large range of genres and moods, all tied together with his sheer love of great music as well as supreme but unflashy DJ skills, and form an opportunity for the public to completely enter the Scruff world.Mr Scruff will ideally play all night, 5 or 6 hours or from when doors open till it’s time to go home! This will cover many different types of music, including blues, reggae, hip hop, deep house, gospel, broken beat, electro, soul, funk, jazz, latin, african & more.
