Cult Poet Ivor Cutler Obituary
Written by Paul Rance
Wednesday, 8 March 2006

Cult Scottish poet Ivor Cutler died in March. He was 83, and his fans included The Beatles and John Peel.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney's fondness for his surreal, offbeat poetry, got Cutler a role in the 'Magical Mystery Tour' movie as Buster Bloodvessel, and he appeared on John Peel's show from 1969 right up to the legendary DJ's death in 2004.

Ivor Cutler was a teacher, retiring in 1980. He first began to get noticed reciting his work on the BBC's 'Home Service' between 1957 and 1963. His 1967 album, 'Ludo', was produced by George Martin.

Unconventional to the last, lovely Ivor was a member of the Noise Abatement Society and the Voluntary Euthanasia Society.
