    “Cutler performed on the opening night of BBC Two, recorded more John Peel sessions than any other act except The Fall, played Buster Bloodvessel in The Beatles’ A Magical Mystery Tour and was, according to Peel, the first performer to appear on Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4.” —Bruce Lindsay answers ten questions on Ivor Cutler 3/7 https://theartsdesk.com/books/10-questions-bruce-lindsay-biographer-ivor-cutler #Scottish #literature #poetry #music #humour #surrealism #absurdist #IvorCutler #JohnPeel #TheBeatles

    @scotlit@mastodon.scot If a lion attacks Stoop swiftly Pick up two medium sized rock stones And insert them deftly up his nostrils He will forget your presence temporarily In an attempt to remove the foreign bodies But do not wait around For he will bound after you And you will not play your trick a second time —Ivor Cutler, “Jungle Tip: Lion”
