What a brilliant show! I’d heard Ivor before without knowing who he was; I’d heard his name too, but never had it connected to anything.
Now I know – thanks, Tim!
What a wonderful show. Thanks for making that. I too had heard bits and pieces and references but never quite connected them to one person. Sad that he passed away before I found out who he was while he lived, rather like another post mortem glaswegian hero of mine, Alex Harvey. But I digress, Thanks! it was a wonderfully unfussy and warm tribute.
Bought it all back, listening to Ivor on the Peel Show, anf then spending years afterwards, even now, finding myself singing some half remembered words to Pellets.
Also spotted him on the bus of the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour Bus film playing Buster Bloodvessel and a recent BBC documentary.
There actually was an Ivor Cutler mashup: Ivor vs Eno’s “Music For Airports” I believe. Don’t remember who did it, but ’twas submitted to gybo’s spoken-word challenge.
The Ivor vs Music For Airports was one of mine actually, and was an effort I made before I made my first official release. I think it shows too
Thanks Tim, gonna have a listen now!
I heard of Ivor Cutler from 6 music and Cassette Boy’s “Micks Tape”

Thank you so much for that. I downloaded and bunged the show onto my iPod shuffle and thus had yours and Ivor’s company in my head on the train to (and briefly during) a day out at the seaside. Listening to Ivor and staring out of a train window complement each other marvellously. It all left me in a suitably contemplative mood for walking by/gazing at the sea.
Thank you too for including A Real Man which I don’t think I’d ever heard before (almost everything else was familiar to me but still freshened by being put in a new sequence). I’ll have to seek that one out.
thanks a lot for this tribute to this great artist. an ivor is gone and we miss him.
