Mr Scruff will play a headline show at London’s KOKO on Saturday 16th May 2015, after returning from a tour of Australia and Newzealand. Tickets on sale here.

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.

After receiving a mighty nudge by the giant elbow of Ninja, the majority of 2013 was spent in the studio recording new album ‘Friendly Bacteria’, featuring Denis Jones, Matthew Halsall, Phil France, Vanessa Freeman & Robert Owens.
