Ivor The Terrible 1923-2006.

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.
    Not 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!

    I booked him at Farnham once - a genuine nutter.

    I listened to this plus a few more of his videos on You Tube. Not sure how I feel about it, but it was interesting.

    Thanks for the introduction. I loved the video so much I had to add it to my blog. I am no longer ashamed.
