Adge Cutler died on his way home from a gig in 1974 at a time when a major TV breakthrough was within his grasp but before his group The Wurzels reached the top of the charts. Decades later The Wurzels continued to pack venues all over the West Country and beyond, but what of the man who set the whole Scrumpy and Western scene underway?
This first Adge Cutler biography, brings him vividly back to life, not only in his eight crazy Wurzel years, but from early days in his beloved Nailsea to the lively camaraderie of the Portishead B power station's labourers , the thriving Bristol jazz and folk scenes of the Fifties and Sixties and his spell as Acker Bilk's worst roadie in the world. All played their part in moulding his unique talent.

I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.
Really lovely books and great customer service. I'll be keeping an eye out on what other gems come into stock.
First class selection of books all delivered in secure packaging and as described(or much better in one instance). Great value for money.
Taps right into what it means to be British and be in a band.
Beautifully wrapped, they really care about books.
Great selection of books and the always arrive well packaged and in great condition. Couldn't be happier ☺️
Excellent range of books at amazing prices. They pack them very securely and delivery is always within a few days. I highly recommend.
Simon Cutts, pyclets (Coracle, 2026)
I read this compressed book with absorption, content. Cutts's method: inclusions from a batch of previous books, mixing in extraction from other writers. Compressed bulk. Sifting through, the rationale for inclusion or placement in the sequence's development is sometimes clear, sometimes oblique. Their brevity has a shortening effect, and the consequent generous white space acts as a leaven. There are garnishes, small colour photographs of pyclets at the foot of each page (seen larger under the laminating of the cover).
If you're looking for an active starter in Cutts's work, pyclets should do you fine. There's nothing lame, it's all vital, all enriching, blooming wonderful: filled with enriching ingredients, cold proof of Cutts's excellence. Here's your heritage; here's an heirloom. Eat it all up, crust and crumb.

Beautiful qualities and excellent photography and writing.
This book arrived so fast, i clicked and paid and it arrived, joking of course but fast nonetheless.
Thanks x
Excellent delivery and immaculate condition.
Arrived quite quickly and in immaculate condition. Not opened yet as it’s a gift but I’m certain it will be loved.
Arrived well ahead of time. Excellent book. Stan Lee was a god when I was growing up in the late fifties/ early sixties; his heroes were more relatable to than the likes of DC comics, like Superman, and the artwork by Marvel comics was far superior.
Love this book. As a lifelong fan of Stan the Man, I thank you.
