Ivor Cutler

voc, har, 1923-2006 GB, Glasgow
Singer / Musician / Songwriter of World, Spoken Word and Folk

Ivor Cutler (1923-2006) was a highly eccentric poet, singer, songwriter and storyteller. He appealed to successive generations with his offbeat sense of humour and wonder at the world. In more than four decades of performing he attracted a band of admirers and followers that included, amongst others, the philosopher Bertrand Russell, Beatles John and Paul, and John Peel. He retired from the stage at the age of 82 and following a brief period of Alzheimer's and ill-health, he died on 3 March 2006, aged 83.
