Adge Cutler Playlist

 Playlist made with the Adge songs on Spotify. Doesn't have the Sheriff of Midsomer Norton though. I saw Adge play in the 60s in Frome at a firework display. I was only a kid and it was a bit scary with so many people drunk.

The band sing their song 'Drink Up Thy Zider' before some factory workers who enjoy a glass of cider and sing along. Watch an hour long documentary on Adge

Today 50 years ago Adge Cutler was killed

 BBC article about the original Wurzel who was killed in a car crash. I saw him live at a sort of big in Frome. On the trading estate. There were fireworks and a lot of drunk grown ups.

Adge King of the Wurzels

My sister persuaded me to rejoin the library. Haven't been there for about 15 years. Today I decided to borrow some books. So I visited the Local history section and chose some. First up is this biography of Somerset bard Adge Cutler. Good book. Shall enjoy reading this. To see more on this phenomenon search this blog for Adge.
