We’re off on vacation from Wednesday 25 August to Tuesday 14 September so PLEASE DON’T ORDER ANYTHING from the store (‘cos it won’t be sent). We’ve also closed the Amazon, Play and Ebay sales so either order in mid September or download the albums now.
Off to Italy and Spain via omnibus and train… wonder what I’ll be doing?
Letter of the week in this month’s Record Collector, no less.
Just checking the availability of Ivor’s wonderous albums on iTunes New Zealand (as you do) and noticed a karaoke album – Sing it like an Idol: Legends Vol. 6. What’s this then?
hmmm… 13 songs made famous by the likes of Mario Lanza, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Tormé, Lou Rawls, the divine Doris Day, Judy Garland, Johnny Mathis… CLASSY. But which smooth international superstar hit is that on track 10? ‘The Pussy Song (As Made Famous by Ivor Biggun)’!!!
Truely, the world is a strange place and someone has a highly tuned sense of the absurd. Sir, we salute you…
With much help we’ve managed to get the ‘buy from Stiff Weapon’ buttons working again (see the Sample + buy Ivor Biggun link on the left). This means you can now buy direct from here at the cheapest prices anywhere if you have a paypal account. We’re just too good to you… you winkers don’t deserve it.
oops – spoke too soon. The iTunes links from Fruity Bits and More Fruity bits take you to the iTunes store but tell you the albums aren’t available. Lies, damn lies. I don’t know how to fix this so just do a search for Ivor Biggun and you’ll find all the albums.
the great brilliant ivor biggun!!!
im a mancunian thats been living in munich for over 21 years now and i worked many of those years in rock n roll as a roadie,
and “the winkers song (misprint)” was always a brilliant song to teach foriegners, i once had a troupe of 40 chinese singing along on the chorus not knowing a bloody word of what they were singing and having great fun!! he he a great bit of british cultural heritage to take back home with them!!
if there are any more clips? or if you know where i can get the ukulele tabs? as i am now in the process of learning ukulele!!
once again thanxs for the great memories!!
sir ged
thanks to Edward for this one
Ivor’s been searching through his archives and found a couple of videos. Unfortunately they’re not of his raucous live show so they feature the clean, broadcastable numbers, (Nobody Does It Like) The Ukelele Man and Grafitti Night Fever. They can currently be seen on MySpace (click on the video link beneath the German swordsman). Or watch it here!
