I've just had to tell a good friend of his

And heard some extremely Ivoresque gossip which I am never going to repeat

Rest in peace

Ivor Cutler by KT Tunstall review – a plum of a programme

Tunstall’s celebration of the eccentric, poet and performer didn’t eschew more difficult testimony, but made a heartfelt love letter to a charming and yet slightly unsettling man

Watched this tonight. Didn't know that much about him previously, but really interesting. Nice to see James Yorkston featured!

Happy centenary to Ivor Cutler! There were some events for it, but they were yesterday so you've missed them. Really hoping this bump doesn't lead into it becoming a "let's slag off Ivor Cutler" thread.

I will be putting lots of people on Ignore if it does.

I raised bob_jr on Ivor Cutler. When he was little he was often to be heard singing 'Cockadoodledon't or 'I'm going in a field' to himself. Now he's a bit older he totally gets 'Life in a Scotch sitting-room': one of us says 'Look - a tree' or 'Look - a thistle' to the other probably a minimum of three times a week. And the only acceptable answer to 'I'm hungry' is '... for a balloon?'
