“Cutler had a lighter, quieter, sparser approach to the weird, macabre and illogical than the majority of surrealists. The darkness is transmuted into mischief and the savagery into play. There is melancholy in some of the poems, even despair, but it tends to be counterbalanced by the charm and daftness.”
—Rhys Hughes on the sublime daftness of Ivor Cutler

“Cutler performed on the opening night of BBC Two, recorded more John Peel sessions than any other act except The Fall, played Buster Bloodvessel in The Beatles’ A Magical Mystery Tour and was, according to Peel, the first performer to appear on Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4.”

If a lion attacks
Stoop swiftly
Pick up two medium sized rock stones
And insert them deftly up his nostrils…—Ivor Cutler, “Jungle Tip: Lion”

A hearty recommendation for Hamish Hawk's album, Life In A Scotch Sitting Room, Vol.0 . I saw the show of this as part of the Edinburgh book festival and as somebody who adored the late Ivor Cutler as well as saw him live many a time the performance and the album version highlights build on Cutler's work,covering some classics and adding some very moving life-childhood-vignette type pieces by Hamish. #Music #HamishHawk #IvorCutler

The Hamish Hawk adaptation of works by the late Ivor Cutler(plus Hamish's own wonderful childhood memories) in Edinburgh this weekend past was one of those life affirming experiences. One of the songs he covered & which greatly amused the audience, especially after Hamish held his microphone towards the audience to join in the chorus was Little Black Buzzer.
Hopefully the show will tour. It was certainly filmed.

Per the band's video description: “A specially recorded version of the Ivor Cutler song Women Of The World for #InternationalWomensDay. Originally released by #IvorCutler and #LindaHirst on #RoughTrade in the early eighties, the song is a feminist plea for women to assume power in an attempt to undo the damage done by patriarchal society before it's too late.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivor_Cutler

In praise of #ivorcutler
I was recently made aware of the wonder poet, raconeteur, eccentric, and otherwise brilliant individual, Ivor Culter.
He knocked around with the likes of the Beatles, back in his heyday.
The song ("song", in the sense of most of his work involved a harmonium) which I like is called #shoplifters which is about people who lifted up a shop, rather than robbed from it. See:
https://youtu.be/wuAM5IRgxm0?si=kZd0ijF8HEbjreTe
Note that this comes from the "Ivor Cutler Trio" -- a mono-version (i.e., just Ivor), can be seen here:
https://youtu.be/bVNvC2sNxio?si=By_koTzKDxIE-GL1
I wish I had known of him sooner.

It's Ivor Cutler's Birthday! He was born on this day in 1923. Here's my favourite Ivor spoken word piece, "Gruts for tea", as broadcast on the BBC John Peel show 1979-02-20

That was odd. Catherine just took the car to work, and I'm up in my home office. The second the car started, my phone started playing music. I guess it still thought it was paired.
Anyway, it's always a joy to get an Ivor Cutler track played at you, especially when you least expect it
(it was "Jelly Mountain", btw)

A lovely cover of an Ivor Cutler song: John E. Flamingeaux — https://flamingeaux.bandcamp.com/track/im-going-in-a-field
(free download). The original was meant to be in The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour, but was cut before broadcast.This cover is by a bunch of Hamburg bluegrass musicians, and is clearly influenced by Nic Jones' wonderful live cover.
Ivor would have been 101 today ...
