If you've not heard of Ivor Cutler; shame on you!I only possess one of his albums; 'Dandruff'. I should (of course) have more.
There are always people around who are 'one of a kind'; Ivor Cutler comes under this category.
Half singer, half poet; Ivor's work is unique. I'm not saying that you will like it; but at least have a listen. I must add that he used to be a hot favourite on the UK university circuit. Students eh!

Never met Ivor until now ... thanks Cro ... the man's a delight.
ReplyDeleteNot knowing him very well I somehow think that he just might have liked the fact we've just been introduced 5 years after his death ... the dance lives on!
A brilliant guy - love his stuff.
ReplyDeleteListening to this has made me worn my ears down to the stirrups!
ReplyDeleteI booked him at Farnham once - a genuine nutter.
ReplyDeleteHe used to teach at Summerhill.... it explains a lot!
ReplyDeleteI listened to this plus a few more of his videos on You Tube. Not sure how I feel about it, but it was interesting.
ReplyDeleteIvor the Terrible is a very good description...giggle...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the introduction. I loved the video so much I had to add it to my blog. I am no longer ashamed.
