Welcome
to CuckooLand
Back in the
1990's I occasionally helped CuckooLand out with unpacking
and packing of amps etc at various gigs. I also took a number
of photographs of the group, some of these photographs appeared
in the newspapers or on Damaged Goods covers.
I created this
web page to provide images and information on Shelley's
Children and CuckooLand singles and CDs that have been produced.
Thanks to Greg
for help with the group's song's that appear on compilation
CDs.
