Ivor Cutler and the Shinytribe: A double bill of songs and stories performed by Tim Dalling
An evening celebrating wit, wonder and beautifully offbeat music.
Part One: “Help I Think I’m Turning Into Ivor Cutler”
Tim Dalling’s affectionate tribute to the legendary folk-surrealist Ivor Cutler - admired by The Beatles (he appeared as Buster Bloodvessel, the bus conductor in Magical Mystery Tour) and a longtime favourite of John Peel. Expect beautiful, hilarious and gloriously strange songs performed in Cutler’s distinctive style, accompanied by pedal organ.
Part Two: “Songs of the Shinytribe”
A vibrant set of original songs and stories written and performed by Tim Dalling - accordionist, songwriter, performer, and theatre-maker. With a funky accordion and soulful voice likened to a meeting of Randy Newman and Ivor Cutler, this set is a celebration of birth, death, rituals, hares, and dancing trees.
Come along and be ready to laugh, reflect and maybe even shed a tear.
