Cuckoo Cambridge Ukelele Co-operative
Cuckoo is not exactly a band we are a ukulele club but we do perform in various numbers
it depends who can turn up on the day, the most we've had on stage is probably around 25.
The recordings here are all me, cos I'm the only one with the facilities to record. Also the majority of songs we do as a band are covers which can't be put up here.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Formed in 2008 we currently have around 40 members.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have played at many local and some large festivals including supporting the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and Jona Lewie at the London Uke Fest.
We have also appeared live on BBC Radio.
In one week in June 2009 we played to around 15000 people spread over 4 gigs.
