Don’t miss — Mr Scruff Keep It Unreal Residency

BEATS: Band on the Wall, Manchester, Saturday

Mr Scruff, Macclesfield DJ Andy Carthy, has taken up residency at the newly refurbished Manchester hotspot.

He is well known for serving up a mix of jazz, soul, hip hop, funk, disco, deep house, reggae, dubstep and afrobeat to get revellers in the mood to party.

His stage name was inspired by his bedgraggled facial hair and his loose-lined drawing style. Mr Scruff started DJing in 1994 and soon became famous for his marathon sets and his love of a nice cup of tea.

He designs all the artwork for his album and single covers and the images are also projected throughout his stints on the turntables.
