The legendary Mr Scruff descends on The Black Box in Galway on May 31st for the Galway leg of his June Bank Holiday Weekend Irish Tour which also takes in The Savoy in Cork on Friday May 30th and Trinity Rooms in Limerick on Sunday June 1st.


Scruff's profile has risen even higher since his incredible sets at Electric Picnic and worldwide with Keep it Unreal party's from Australia to La.

Here's a little background . . .


Once Mr Scruff was plain Andy Carthy. And then he wasn’t… Sometime artist, DJ, Peak District wanderer, and Manchester’s very own very own, Mr Carthy started his musical career a mere six years ago.


Since his first vinyl excursion he has recorded for over 25 labels including Warp, Sirkus, Disorient, Blood & Fire, Cup Of Tea and, of course, Ninja Tune. He has remixed Nightmares On Wax and Bim Sherman and refused to remix Nigel Kennedy. He’s worked with Mark Rae and Grand Central. He has DJed all over the bloody shop, turning down more gigs than he takes on. If they won't let him have a long spot, he doesn't bother; a 'take-the-money-and-run' merchant he certainly is not. He has dug in crates and found obscure records with references to marine fauna. He’s done bloody loads, basically, all of it with more than a vague hint of humour. France Telecom (the French equivalent of BT) were suitably impressed and used his single Get A Move On as part of their national TV advertising campaign, as did Volvo in N. America - the Scruffy one didn't see it as something to get excited about.


And he's got more fans. Most notably, Madonna recently said in Mixmag of music she was playing at home, "And Mr Scruff I love, that weird little album (Keep It Unreal) that's got so much personality". Mr Scruff was characteristically unimpressed.


And his latest wheeze? you can now take advantage of Mr. Scruff's years of tireless dedication to tea with Make us a Brew, the scruffy one's very own tea brand !
