Subject: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Ralphie Date: 12 Apr 05 - 01:10 AM Hello. Just a quick heads up to UK viewers that there will be an hour long doc on the life of Scottish Poet/Singer Ivor Cutler on BBC4 Friday 15th April 2200-2300 (UK Time) followed by highlights of his farewell concert at the RFH 2300-2330. This has been a Public Service Announcement Regards Ralphie |

Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Ralphie Date: 12 Apr 05 - 11:49 PM IMHO.. Too important a thread to see die after only 3 messages. If you've never heard of Ivor. WATCH THIS PROGRAMME!! Sorry for the shout. Ralphie |
Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: mandoleer Date: 13 Apr 05 - 08:26 PM I remember when he was Ivor Cutler of Y'Houp (spelling?). For those that don't know of him - deadpan, surreal, inimitable, is his stuff deep and meaningful or another MacArthur Park, or is he the sane one? |
Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Ralphie Date: 14 Apr 05 - 09:15 AM I can see all these US people saying "Who the Hell is Ivor Cutler?" Well, IMHO, A Scottish Treasure. To Quote. "A man with a hand like a hammer Was hanging a portrait of his wife". "The Earth meets the sky, over the hill I was told by a sparrow with a lump on his head" Regards Ralphie (who's about to go in a field...to lie down!) |

Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: GUEST Date: 14 Apr 05 - 06:24 PM Jos.. Is that "Gruts for Tea"?? And(while I'm here...) I still mourn Fremsley, (and the slavering dogs) I'm just going to lie beside a dry stone dyke, "to escape the worst of the effects of the fresh air" |

Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Jos Date: 15 Apr 05 - 04:23 AM Of course, Guest. It was while I was listening to 'Gruts for Tea' that I first heard about gruts. (In our family we call the dried cat food 'gruts', so even my cats know the word, without ever having heard, or read, the original.) |

Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Nemesis Date: 15 Apr 05 - 06:42 PM If you get a chance - catch Jane Bom-Bane (Queen of the Funky Harmonium) at a show ... I hadn't really heard Ivor Cutler before this evening - so, hadn't understood why people raved that Jane was Ivor Cutler in drag ... Jane has: "a Gold fish Bowl on [my] head" "Jane Bom-Bane is either a genius or an example of care in the community gone wrong. Gloriously eccentric. Hugely entertaining songs and stories. Unmissable.***** " Edinburgh Evening News But, the MP3 songs aren't particularly typical (typical!) - |
Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Jos Date: 16 Apr 05 - 03:19 AM Greg You're seeing things from the parent's point of view. Back in about 1959 I saw gruts through the ears of a child. |

Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: GUEST,Geoff the Duck Date: 17 Oct 18 - 02:46 AM Not sure if I did or didn't actually see the film once on telly. Info elsewhere says his character was named Buster Bloodvessel (a name later borrowed by the singer with Bad Manners) and he was the bus driver. Quack! |
Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: Jack Campin Date: 14 Oct 20 - 11:15 AM From the Lost Glasgow FB group: Eccentric, Govan-born poet and musician Ivor Cutler is the focus of a new TV doc tonight, presented by life-long fan, KT Tunstall. I've been a fan since I first heard his gentle but surreal songs on the John Peel show. Heaven knows what the teachers at Shawlands Academy made of the young Ivor... 10pm, tonight, Sky Arts (Freeview Channel 11) |
Subject: RE: Ivor Cutler BBC4 UK From: DaveRo Date: 14 Oct 20 - 11:49 AM It was yesterday, Tuesday 13th. Review No doubt it'll be repeated. |
