As part of Stealth’s 11th Birthday celebrations we are throwing a number of parties across late April and May.
When Stealth first opened in late April 2004 our very first headliner at our very first event was Mr Scruff, and we are very happy to announce that we welcome him back on Friday 15th May, 2015.
“Greetings! I am Mr. Scruff, DJ, Producer, Cartoonist & Tea Drinker.
As a DJ, I play across the board, including Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Jazz, Reggae, Dubstep, Latin, African, Ska, Disco, House, Funk, Breaks, Soundtracks & loads more. As a producer I make music that draws on these influences, with a large dose of cheek & good humour. My cartoon drawings illustrate my website, gig flyers & record/cd covers. I also have a tea company (more info at www.makeusabrew.com).”

A lot of things have happened since a young Andy Carthy started answering to the name Mr Scruff – making a name for himself under the shadow of Manchester’s mid 90s club scene. Not only has he released four critically acclaimed albums, selling over half a million records worldwide, with countless tours and club events he has cemented his now legendary DJ status. This is a DJ that can sell out venues only with his records, some turntables and a few spare packets of teabags.
More than that, Scruff has established himself as a general guarantor of quirkiness and quality so that when his range of speciality teas were launched they became the 5th best selling grocery product in the long and illustrious history of Selfridge’s Food Hall (see www.makeusabrew.com for more tea shenanigans). His ‘Teacup’ tea shop in Manchester packs in the punters and the now legendary travelling tea stall is a firm favourite at Scruff gigs & festivals all over the UK. Meanwhile, his wobbly potato people adorn t-shirts, brollies and even people’s bodies.

Room 2 will be looked after by Lee Rosy’s, who will be providing fine tea & cakes! DJ Support comes from Wrighty (Soul Buggin’).
