Gone Cuckoo, by Malcolm Green, music by Josh Green at The Cube
Tickets £10.50

A event held at The Cube on Thursday 18th April. The event starts at 20:00.


Just after dawn at RAF Fylingdales on the North York Moors, a male Cuckoo is having a tiny 4.5g radio transmitter strapped to his back. Within a few weeks he will have flown thousands of miles south and 3 miles high over the Sahara Desert, sending signals back to England as he travels through Libya and Chad to the Congo.

Myth and science collide as storyteller Malcolm Green and musician Josh Green (Sam Lee & Friends, Super Best Friend’s Club) celebrate this iconic bird. The nest-bombing, spring-heralding Cuckoo has been part of folklore for thousands of years, but now the bird is disappearing in England, and we are already forgetting his song.

Intimate and affecting, this is not just the story of a bird, but a story of migration and planetary communication: a metaphor for how we move through space and time, how we’re known, and how we’re forgotten…
