Ivor Cutler

Hard on the heels of the sad passing of Linda Smith, I noticed this in the Guardian today: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/news/obituary/0,,1725309,00.html

I was only recently introduced to Ivor's work by my partner; a genuine one-off, his work was was surreal, humourous, disturbing and magical.

How sad that we have lost yet another of our authentic & original voices. The front line against the reality TV army of clones is diminishing rapidly.....



Ivor Cutler
January 15 1923 – March 3 2006

" Poet, singer, writer, composer, humourist and painter, Mr Cutler, as he liked to be known by those he didn't know him well, touched and changed the lives of many people and elicited great affection from his audiences and pupils. He will be remembered with great fondness."
