Who Are The Cutlers of Cornwall?

The Cutlers of Cornwall was formed in October 2007. The band is fronted by Greg 'Timber' Woods, previously with The Cornish Wurzells, who started as The Cutler's tuba player, but has somehow ended up playing the banjo and other strummin' things; Greg also takes the lead vocals. He is followed by Dave 'Scrumpymad' Knightley who is the band's keyboard maestro. As well as providing backing vocals, Dave sings the lead on those songs too high for Greg's vocal range (on account that his pants are very tight!). The trio is completed by Martin 'Tudor' Rose. Martin has taken over Greg's role as tuba player and also sings backing vocals - although not at the same time; Martin also handles lead vocals on songs that are too high-pitched for either Greg or Dave (as he has really tight pants!). The band now has a fourth member - Gerty; a 4ft stuffed Holstien who has become the band's mascot. She has already survived kidnap attempts, zider spillages, and is constantly being asked for a dance; suitors are normally accepted on the condition that they treat her like the true lady she is!

The band released their debut CD The Cutlers At Christmas in December 2007. It featured some of the band's own aural delights such as Rusty The Cowman, Christmas Torn and Christmas as well as four classic Scrumpy & Western evergreens. This went down well and spawned the band's follow-up CD Behind Bars which was released in March 2008. Behind Bars is a mix of Adge Cutler favourites, Cornish Classics and some more of the band's songs such as Sea of Cowpats. Add to this a bit of Benny Hill and George Formby and you will get a flavour of what a night with The Cutlers Of Cornwall would be like - indeed many of the songs featured on Behind Bars form the foundation for their live set. The band's third CD, A Country Life, was released on 30th June 2008. This CD has three Wurzel evergreens, one Cornish Classic - Trelawney, which is the national anthem of Cornwall, a cover of What A Wonderful World included because the band like it - and no less than nine "Cutlers" originals and parodies. This CD breaks new ground for the band, as it is being launched in America through online retailer CD-Baby.

In September 2009, The band released two more album releases - Cutler Country, and album of pure Country & Western music, and a seven-track compilation album entitled Snowflakes Are Kisses From Angels. In the meantime, Greg has taken a solo show on the road under the name Twurzel. In March 2010, the band released the album Old Songs For Young Heroes, a collection of olde time songs to help raise money for the Help For Heroes and The Royal British Legion; although this is a move away from the Scrumpy & Western genre, it does contain the Scrumpy & Western track The Marrow Song.
