Show Description

Ivor Cutler and the Shinytribe: A double bill of songs and stories performed by Tim Dalling. The first half: "Help I Think I'm Turning Into Ivor Cutler" Tim's tribute to the great folk-surrealist Ivor Cutler, hero of the Beatles (he was Buster Bloodvessel, the bus conductor in the Magical Mystery Tour) and John Peel (he was a regular doing sessions for Peel in the 70s and 80s). Beautiful, hilarious and weird songs performed as Ivor did accompanied with pedal-organ. The second half: "Songs of the Shinytribe" is a set of songs and stories, written and performed by Tim Dalling, accordionist, performer, songwriter and theatre-maker. His funky accordion and soulful voice have been likened to a cross between Randy Newman and Ivor Cutler. It is a celebration of birth, death, rituals, hares and dancing trees. Come along and be ready to laugh and cry.

Self contained but good to use hall's own lighting where possible
Similarly if there is a PA set up in the hall I am happy to use that. In smaller halls or smaller audience sizes the show can be totally acoustic
Digital poster and online images, and printed posters and leaflets. Links to Video trailers.
