Blurt (UK)
Blurt ist der Name einer Band, die 1979 vom britischen Saxophonisten, Poeten und Puppenspieler Ted Milton gegründet wurde.
As one of the early Factory records signings, they shared bills with the likes of Joy Division and A Certain Ratio before offending Tony Wilson by comparing the label to the lifestyle-chain Habitat. Also championed at the time by John Peel, the band have been through a number of lineup changes but never really went away, and continued to release albums and singles on a number of different labels, the most recent are 2010’s Cut It! and live at OTO (2016). Now in his 70s, Milton remains a compelling and energetic performer with a unique perspective on the history he has lived through.
