Bush Doctor Promotions — Jungle Mania IV: The ’94 Splash

Catalogue note

Original double-sided Bush Doctor Promotions flyer for Jungle Mania IV — The ’94 Splash, held at Stantonbury Campus Leisure Centre, Milton Keynes on 10 December 1994. The illustrated face uses a bespoke jungle/lion scene and carries a visible artist signature. The reverse is unusually documentary: Bush Doctor explicitly frames the event as a celebration of its achievements during 1994 in putting jungle on the UK map, bills a large DJ/MC programme, gives production specifications, drug-awareness and security messaging, a venue map and a nationwide ticket network. The object forms a strong sequence with TMR-000647, documenting Bush Doctor's development from The Exodus to its year-end Jungle Mania IV statement.

Advertised programme: Brockie; DJ Rap; DJ SS; KGB; Kut D; Ramjak; Pure-Xtacy; K-Bear; Dark-Syndicate; Darren J; XTC; Footloose; Easy D; Rush; Red Ryder; Ron; EFX; Bushdoctor; Mickey Finn; Hype; Kenny Ken; MCs Spider, Flinty Badman, Sugar Ire, General Levy, Det, Fugitive, Moose, Bassman, Sky

Graphic-design significance: Bespoke illustrated jungle imagery framed by masonry, palms and a lion emerging from water; unusually, the artwork carries a visible hand-drawn signature. The reverse combines promoter manifesto, lineup, production specifications, venue map and nationwide ticket network.

Historical context: Bush Doctor's official history states that the organisation was founded in Nottingham in 1994 and identifies “94' splash, Jungle Mania - 1994” among its historic events. On the physical flyer, Bush Doctor describes The ’94 Splash as symbolising its achievements during 1994 in putting jungle firmly on the map across the United Kingdom, while recalling The Exodus and subsequent Jungle Mania events. This contemporary self-description is preserved as promoter rhetoric rather than treated as an independent historical verdict.

Condition note: Substantial historic handling and surface wear with edge and corner abrasion, creasing, scuffing and localised marks. Printed content remains substantially complete and highly legible, with strong colour and the artist signature surviving clearly at the lower centre of the illustrated face.
