Ivor Cutler: A Life Outside the Sitting Room is the first biography
of one of post-war Britain's most recognisable authors, poets and
performers. Mr Cutler (as he preferred to be known) wrote and
recorded some of the most unusual and memorable songs and poems in
British popular culture, including the hilarious and unsettling
'Life in a Scotch Sitting Room' series. Described by fans and
commentators as an outsider because of his eccentric behaviour on
and off stage, in many ways he was an insider, working for thirty
years as a primary school teacher, gathering a body of fans from
the heart of the cultural and social establishment, and regularly
appearing on mainstream media. He was one of the first - if not the
first - performers to appear on BBC radio 1, 2, 3 and 4 and
famously recorded more John Peel sessions than any other act except
The Fall. This book is based on evidence from official documents,
print and broadcast media; archive interviews with Ivor Cutler, his
close friends and family, fans and collaborators; and new
interviews with fans, friends and fellow performers. Contributors
include musical and acting collaborators who have never been
interviewed about their experiences with Mr Cutler.
