Ivor Cutler and Linda Hurst - Women Of The World

Ivor Cutler (15 January 1923 -- 3 March 2006) was a Scottish poet, songwriter and humorist. He was born in GLASGOW to a Jewish middle-class family, the descendant of Eastern European Jews who arrived in Scotland three generations before him.

He became known for his regular performances on BBC radio, and in particular his numerous sessions recorded for John Peel's influential radio programme, and later for Andy Kershaw's programme. He appeared in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film in 1967 and on Neil Innes' television programmes. Cutler also wrote books for children and adults and was a teacher at A. S. Neill's Summerhill School and for 30 years in inner-city schools in London. He told Andy Kershaw on his radio show that he also gave private poetry lessons to individuals.

Cutler began writing songs and poetry in the late 1950s, making the first of many appearances on BBC radio on the Home Service, where he featured on the Monday Night at Home programme on 38 occasions between 1959 and 1963.
