Mr Scruff

Now, this one has been a long standing target for the best part of 20 years. We can finally, happily say that we are bringing Mr. Scruff to Bedford Esquires in December, for a mammoth, 5 hour set!

Manchester-based Mr. Scruff is a producer, cartoonist and cross-genre selector who loves to play long DJ sets, and occasionally B2B sets with similarly wide-eared end excitable DJs. He has been DJing since 1984, and has been getting paid for it since 1994. His DJ sets can range from deep soul/funk/reggae/afro/jazz /latin/hip-hop to harder edged electro/house/new wave/techno /electronic all knitted together with supreme technical skill and a keen sense of fun.

A sound obsessive who likes to get in the venue early to set up and sound check, he brings his mixer, effects, vinyl (unless he is playing upside down on a windy boat), cables, a sound engineer and some boiled eggs. Sometimes he brings VJ Jim or MC Kwasi. He usually brings socks, but occasionally forgets. All we know, is it’s going to be a lot of fun.

Tickets will go quick for this one, get those potato fingers ready for 10am, Monday – available at See and local outlets.
