'Sir Dirk McQuickly CH MBE' (born March 29, 1943) is an English singer, bassist, pianist, nose-picker, and founding member of The Rutles. He was called "the cute Rutle" and was the only Rutle not to complain about Rutlemania.
He also had a popular career in the 1970s with Punk Floyd, and a solo career in the following years.
In 1972, Punk Floyd decided to go on a spontaneous tour of British primary schools. They were very quickly arrested for supplying small children with acid. Dirk was quoted as saying 'We saw lots of children and 5 of them grew up illegal'.
Dirk McQuickly toured with The Punk Floyd until the early 80s before turning to a solo career. A short-lived friendship and collaboration with former child star/director Ron Howard soured after Howard bought the rights to all of The Rutles' movies, and in 2002 Dirk's troubles only worsened following his remarriage to a headless mannequin.
In 2013, in his first appearance in 8 years, Dirk McQucikly bought out the surviving members 90's Groan band, Shangri-La, for an encore of his show in Seattle's W.C. Fields.
