RIP Ivor Cutler

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Legend!

I know he was old - hell he was old in Magical Mystery Tour, but I'm still very sad about this...

RIP indeed.

He did "Go and Sit Upon the Grass" didn't he?

Bloody hell :eek:

That was the only work of his I remember hearing, but it had a lasting impression :notworthy:

So sorry I missed this post Libs, the man was indeed a genius. I think he knew he was dying though.
BBC4 screened: Ivor Cutler - A Life
and
Cutler's Last Stand - a farewell concert from the RFH, last year

I have them on tape.
I also reckon he went with 'crinkley slipperette's into that....
Oh... it seems I've forgotten the rest...
