How much confidence do you need to write or create out of your comfort zone? What does it take to embark on unfamiliar genres - the historical novel perhaps, starting a podcast or vlog, or writing a lyric poem? And how can the great poet, performer and humorist Ivor Cutler inspire us to write our most authentic material? Is confidence a helpful word for writers? Ian is joined by one of our most versatile novelists, Denise Mina - who explores the role of certainty in her new novel 'Three Fires', by singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams (who has pubished a novel 'The Ormering Tide' and also presents her own podcast ('Before the Light Goes Out'), by the poet and editor of 'Why I Write Poetry' Ian Humphreys, and by celebrator of Len Pennie, known as Miss Punnypennie - who invites her followers on social media to enjoy 'Scots and sarcasm' and has a poetry book in the pipeline.

On this episode of his podcast Chris welcomes back singer-songwriter KT Tunstall. When Chris last spoke with KT two years ago, her future as a musician looked bleak, given she was suffering from severe hearing loss. But KT returns with a hugely positive story - cutting edge technology has allowed her to regain her hearing, and with that the ability to perform and record to her very best. Along with this remarkable update, the conversation also touches upon KT's delight at working collaboratively within musical theatre, her love of humorist Ivor Cutler and the delightful Japanese art of Kintsugi.

Born 100 years ago in Scotland, the late musician/poet/author/humorist Ivor Cutler was a self-described Oblique Music Philospher.  He released tons of art by way of radio, television, books and records.  His work, no matter the medium, is thoughtful as it is absurd, as irreverent as it is romantic.  Author Bruce Lindsay took it upon himself to write the greatest-and-only biography on the O.M.P. called Ivor Cutler: A Life Outside the Sitting Room.  Markly Morrison and Andrew “Hollywood” Dorsett speak at length with Mr. Lindsay on Ivor's storied career that spans from the 1950s until his death in 2006 including his work as a music teacher, his recurring radio and television performances on the BBC, the story behind his character “Buster Bloodvessel” in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour movie, his books for children and adults, his friendship with prog-rocker Robert Wyatt, his shocking habit of vandalism, and artists who have covered Mr. Cutler.  One such artist is Jim O'Rourke, who in the first few minutes shares an anecdote about the time that Ivor reached out to him, in an outtake from episode 66.Illustration of Bruce thinking about Ivor drawn by Lani Morrison@3magbrewing @rainydayolympia @schwartzsolympia @old_schoolpizzeria @blindsay @myselfies2006 #ivorcutler #poetlauriate #fave #jam #trafficjam #scottishpoetry #harmonium #geezer #absurdism #weirdmusic #outsiderart #yolatengo #parentheticalgirls #robertwyatt #phyllisking #adoughtnutinnyhand “beautifulcosmos #beatles #magicalmysterytour #busterbloodvessel #organist

Most of us discovered him through the patronage of fans like John Peel – or first saw him as part of the Magical Mystery Tour cast – but this fascinating conversation covers the early years too, his time as a progressive schoolteacher, the formative influence of Kafka and the Goons, his big break into TV via Ned Sherrin and his immediate adoption by the counter-culture.

Sufjan Stevens is one of the most prolific songwriters working today, and it feels as though his drive to write songs is as much about the creation of music, as it is the understanding of creativity itself, and finding different ways to explore it. He first heard Angelo De Augustine a few years ago, and when you hear Angelo's voice you'll understand why Suf signed him to his label. And why they decided to make an album together. A Beginner's Mind is a record inspired and created by a few forces. Sufjan and Angelo holed up in a cabin in upstate New York to write it. They would watch old movies at night; classics like Point Break, She's Gotta Have It, Silence of the Lambs, even Bring It On Again. Then they'd use these stories to write their own. But they also threw in the I Ching, and a Zen Buddhist principle of Shoshin, or A Beginner's Mind. What's come out of it is a beautiful collection of songs, and the inspiration behind my Take 5 theme of Absolute Beginners. From an epic recording of Nina Simone, to the short and surreal world of Ivor Cutler, and the incredible world of Prince, this is a beautiful journey with two absolute angels.

Ivor Cutler is hard to categorise. Whimsical and uncompromising, depressive yet joyful, childlike and curmudgeonly, an 'outsider', championed by insiders like Paul McCartney, he's perhaps best known for his collection 'Life in a Scotch Sitting Room Volume Two" (there is no volume one) or his much-covered 1983 indie hit 'Women of the World'. Cutler often referred to himself as a 'humourist', though his work spans music, poetry, children's books, performative and visual art. A sensitive soul and keen member of the Noise Abatement Society, he loved the small, quiet things in life - bugs, flowers, birds, small kindnesses and cups of tea. He hated chemical smells, loud noises and cars and always rode his bicycle to get around - whether peddling his harmonium to a gig to support Soft Machine or heading to Hampstead Heath to sit quietly with his notebook under a tree. The Scottish eccentric had a distinctive style - wearing plus fours and often with a flower adorning his hat. He would approach strangers offering small sticky labels with 'cutlerisms' on like "Never Knowingly Understood", "Illiterates Against the Nizis" or "Funny Smell". He was convinced that the world was absurd and met it with a unique blend of dark and daft humour, refusing to let it crush his child's eye view. John Peel, who recorded many sessions with Ivor Cutler, once remarked that Cutler was probably the only performer whose work had been featured on Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4. He continues to inspire a cult following 15 years after his death. Matthew Parris and nominator KT Tunstall are joined by Bruce Lindsay, currently at work on a biography of Ivor Cutler. We also hear excerpts from interviews with Ivor's partner Phyllis King and his son Jeremy Cutler, conducted by the producer, Ellie Richold. Image: Courtesy of Jeremy Cutler

Det vil være forkert at sige, at Henrik Balling ikke kan lide hele sangen. Men det er reelt kun et lille stykke af den, der gør, at han har et så kærligt forhold til den. Produceren og Gangway-bagmanden holder rigtig meget af en sekvens med guitar i et musikstykke, der nærmest må betragtes som to forskellige sange; den ene mere underlig end den anden. Til gengæld er der dog en konsekvens i, at teksterne i de to sange slet ikke giver mening, hverken sammen eller hver for sig. Og det skønt, når der ikke altid er en forklaring, mener Henrik Balling.

Helen Oxenbury is an illustrator of children’s books whose work has featured in many very popular titles for younger readers including the award-winning We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, by Michael Rosen. Helen has won the Kate Greenaway Medal twice and was awarded a lifetime achievement award by the Book Trust in 2018. She attended the Ipswich School of Art and later the Central School of Art in London where she met fellow illustrator and her future husband, John Burningham. After the birth of her children she began illustrating children’s books, working at the kitchen table long after they’d gone to bed. Her work for Ivor Cutler’s Meal One, published in 1971, was praised by Spare Rib magazine for its portrayal of a single mother and her relationship with her young son. Helen came up with the idea of her baby board books in the late 1970s after the birth of her third child who suffered with eczema. Discovering that her daughter could be distracted from scratching by looking at baby catalogues, Helen created a series of board books placing babies and toddlers at their heart. Such a concept was unheard of at the time. From the late 1980s, Helen ensured that the babies and children featured in her books came from different ethnic backgrounds and her work in So Much by Trish Cooke has become a children’s classic. In We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, published in 1989, Helen’s pictures celebrated the joy of adventure and the bond between siblings. Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Paula McGinley

In a slight digression from the usual Bunkering I have recorded a new show exploring the figure of the ‘Outsider’ in music, in the term's broader sense. At first I focused on unusual tales: psychic composers, self professed extraterrestrials and diy instrument makers, however came to consider the Outsider as also describing figures who were marginalised: exiles, nomads and the oppressed. At the end of this collation I felt unsure about grouping together people who are 'different', but hope the compression of all these alternative visions inspires some fresh perspectives. This programme was originally produced in a shorter format for Angel Radio down in Havant, which has a pre-1964 license, hence the focus on pre-Beatles artists.

Prompted by the inclusion of an owl-themed track on the new Spacedog album and a seagull-themed track on Jonny Trunk’s recently released collection of music and songs used in Fingerbobs, we thought it an appropriate moment to celebrate all things … Continue reading →

As you will know, dear listener, the Moonbase periodically detaches itself from its lunar moorings and hovers over various parts of Scotland. We therefore thought it was about time we played a selection of tracks inspired in some way by … Continue reading →

Today's podcast is infused with the two themes of this year's festival - Myth and Legend and the Director's Cut. In the former we have an excerpt from the Poetry Breakfast which featured Moniza Alvi, Tiffany Atkinson, Stephen Halliwell and Rebecca Seiferle discussing myths in poetry. In the latter we feature two great Scottish poets Tom Pow and John Glenday. We also have the pleasure to include a fragment from the Past Poets event on Ivor Cutler with his publisher and friend Tony Ward. And we got the chance to listen to the marvellous Clydebuilt poets Christie Williamson, Chloe Morrish, Susan Rosser and Gordon McInnes in the Younger Poets showcase as well as speak to one of its founders, Jim Carruth.

This month's podcast features two tracks from Edinburgh's SL Records by Thomas Truax and Recording The Impossible, plus a chat with editor of The Skinny Dave Kerr on what's in the music section of this month's issue. Then stay tuned for the first ever podcast recorded by Glasgow's Chemikal Underground Records themselves, which features the other two tracks featured in this month's column, by The Phantom Band and Aidan Moffat & The Best-Ofs, as well as other great music on the label. Enjoy! The Phantom Band - Folk Song Oblivion Ironically for a band that once changed their name with every gig, you will be hearing the name The Phantom Band everywhere this year. Possibly the first true contenders to the Beta Band’s crown - not because they’re trying to sound like them, but because their melodies and inventiveness are equally as effortless. This is but a taste of the eclectic first album Checkmate Savage, out now on Chemikal Underground Records. Thomas Truax - Joe Meek warns Buddy Holly 3rd February 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of Buddy Holly’s death. In this ingenious tribute, New York musician Thomas Truax tells the tale of how Joe Meek, the unhinged record producer (and this column’s patron saint) was warned of the exact date from beyond the grave, and some years after his prophesy was proven to be true he shot himself and his landlady - again on the very same date. And in another genius piece of release date irony, it is released by Edinburgh’s SL Records on .... yes - the 3rd of February. Aidan John Moffat & The Best-Ofs - Oh Men! As if last year’s I Can Hear Your Heart wasn’t outrageous enough, here the king of over-sharing and under-shaving lets loose a beery, salacious knees-up about the inability of his fellow fellas not to gape like morons at the sheer loveliness of the female form in all its guises. From the album How to Get To Heaven From Scotland, it’s released by Chemikal Underground with a sleazy wink and a hand up your skirt on February 14th, Valentine’s Day. Recording the Impossible - Popsex Now Paul Vickers has been responsible for some weird shit in his time, both with Dawn of the Replicants and The Leg. However his latest collaboration inspired by Ivor Cutler and at times sounding like a lost episode of Father Ted directed by David Lynch, is off-the-scale bananas. Popsex is a weird little ditty about pop-up books and filthy thoughts. Out now on SL Records. http://www.chemikal.co.uk http://www.slrecords.net
