Old gig tickets - Ivor Cutler

OK, so it was 14 years ago that I saw the great man at the Lyric Theatre. He was a quite frail 79 at this time, but still held his audience in the metaphorical palm of his hand. At one stage a fan took a photo, and Cutler told her off. A couple of songs later he stepped out from behind his instrument, shuffled tovthe front of the stage and started telling himself off for it: "Sorry, not a gentleman". He was humble, and it humbled us all.
