Discography
This page contains track listings of significant recordings made by Ian, over the last 20 or so years.
His first album was "Bully Wee " in 1975.
The line up of the band at that time was :
Jim Yardley (Vocals,Mandolin,Guitar), John Yardley (Vocals,Guitar)
, Frank Simon(Vocals,Guitar,Whistle) and Ian on the fiddle !!
Produced under the label: Folksound FS102.(1975)
The next to be produced was also by "Bully Wee" in 1976, with the same line-up as before. This was beautifully entitled "Enchanted Lady"
Next up was a sojorn from "Bully Wee" to play on an album compiled by Ashley Hutchings, also in 1976.
This was called "Son of Morris On "
There is only one track on which he appears.
It is entitled : Jockey to the Fair/Room for the Cuckolds.
Produced on the label "EMI" SHSM2012(1976)
After that little interlude , Ian was back recording with "Bully Wee " in 1978.
At this time there were a few changes taking place. Not least that they were now called "The Bully Wee Band".
The line-up had also changed to the following:
Jim Yardley(Vocals,Mandolin,Guitar,Whistle and Bouzouki),
John Yardley(Vocals and Guitar),
Fergus Feely (Bouzouki,Cello,Mandolin and Vocals),
Ian Cutler(Violin,Viola,Organ,Harmonium and Vocals) Yes, he did sing !!
This album was entitled "Silvermines" The title was (we believe) devised by Fergus, about a place in Ireland.
This was produced on the label "Red Rag" RRR017.(1978)
The
next album produced by "The Bully Wee Band" was
done in 1980.
The line-up had changed again at this point and now consisted of :
Jim Yardley (Vocals,Guitar,Mandolin and Whistle),
Colin Reece (Vocals and Guitars),
Fergus Feely (Cello,Mandolin and Vocals)
Ian Cutler (Violin,keyboards,Viola and Vocals)
The title of this was "Madmen of Gotham"
As we have said before , in previous pages, this was not the last of Colin
and Ian however.
They carried on gigging and then recorded a tape between them.
This was called "Face to Face" and was released in 1983.
The cover photograph , incidently , was taken by Ayesha , how they all managed to keep a straight face whilst taking it is beyond me !!
Produced by Ian and Colin .CRC103(1983)
At this point we have a recording break where Ian was persuing other
careers.
He was still playing during most of this time but no albums were abounding.
The next up was the arrival of "The Hot Rats"
