E' stata la Hoorgi House ad occuparsi finora di ripubblicare gli album dell'amatissimo Ivor Cutler (1923-2006), facendo seguire a Privilege, A Wet Handle e A Flat Man - divenuti nel tempo rarissimi - l'inedito Singing While Dead. Dallo scorso anno la sua opera di divulgazione si è estesa anche al campo letterario ed editoriale, recuperando in occasione del centenario della nascita del Nostro dapprima Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Volume 2 e successivamente Gruts, and Other Wireless Menu. Quest'ultimo comprende un centinaio di testi scritti per la BBC tra il 1959 e il 1965, alcuni dei quali inediti, pazientemente raccolti da Ian Greaves assieme a numerosi disegni originali. Ineguagliabili!
Hoorgi House, the official imprint of the Ivor Cutler estate, is committed to reissuing the work of the Glasgow poet, singer, musician, teacher, painter, illustrator, sculptor and playwright who died in 2006. Across a wide-ranging career which lasted more than half a century, he published 29 books - many self-illustrated and several of them intended for children - as well as 11 albums of songs, poems, stories, dialogues and plays. He was also prolific on radio and television, clocking up over 400 appearances. Before The Beatles, before John Peel, and even before he turned to poetry, Ivor Cutler was a radio star. His self-penned monologues and sketches for the BBC Home Service were an instant hit, charming adult listeners and children alike. The long out-of-print Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Volume 2 was reissued in September 2022. Gruts, and Other Wireless Menu brings together almost 100 prose pieces written for BBC Radio between 1959-65. This includes the contents of previous collections Gruts, Cock-a-doodle-don't! and Fremsley, as well as a number of unpublished and long lost stories - edited by broadcasting historian Ian Greaves - which have not been available in any form since their original transmission.
