John Byrne: Legendary Scottish artist dies at 83

John Byrne, brilliant Scottish playwright and artist who wrote the TV show Tutti Frutti – obituary

John Byrne, who has died aged 83, was an astonishingly creative person, as brilliant a playwright as he was an artist; The Slab Boys Trilogy is a cast-iron classic of Scottish theatre while his television dramas (including Tutti Frutti and Your Cheatin’ Heart), as well as theatre designs and paintings (he was a superb portraitist) all showed a phenomenal artistic sensibility and drive.

John Byrne: On Gerry Rafferty, Paisley and why he s still working at 81 years old

Brian Beacom JOHN Byrne has Zoomed into the room, and the first impression is the artist/writer certainly hasn’t surrendered to the sartorial ordinariness of a man born at the beginning of the Blitz. His traditional two-tone jacket, the louche silk scarf on neck still suggests a retired rock star, or a mid-20th century dandy. Byrne, thank goodness, still loves to dress to the tens. What’s missing, however, is the almost omnipresent roll-up which dangled from his lips like a limp, recently hanged man. And the Frank Zappa combed-back dark hair is now a soft silver shading, as is his goatee. Yet, still Byrne looks commanding. Defiant. Like a subject in search of an artist, a task he has often taken upon himself.
