Mr Scruff

As a DJ, Andy Carthy aka Mr. Scruff plays across the board, flitting between soul, funk, hip hop, jazz, reggae, latin, african, ska, disco, house, funk, breaks, soundtracks and loads more. As a producer he makes music that draws on these influences, with a large dose of cheek and good humour. His cartoon drawings illustrate gig flyers, record sleeves and CD covers, and usually accompany him at gigs as live animated visuals.

In 2016 Scruff curated our Vinyl Weekender, an introduction to the art of cutting vinyl. He’s since provided mentoring support as part of our Mentoring Programme.
