R.I.P. Ivor Cutler (1923-2006)

Please go and visit The Works of Ivor Cutler , a fine little site dedicated to this unique individual.

Listening to John Peel in the late sixties brought me into intermittent contact with Ivor's unusual take on life. I always found him funny, entertaining and somehow meaningful (without knowing what it meant). He fitted in so naturally with the other inhabitents of John Peel Land eg Capt Beefheart, Pentangle, the Bonzos, Pink Floyd etc
There should be a statue raised in Glasgow in his honour.
