Meet The Rest Of The Team!

A quick introduction to a growing list of volunteers and helpers who make Cottingham Springboard happen. These volunteers may be assigned specific duties, but you can bet that they will be helping out with the organisation and delivery of the event in many many more ways as well.

Dennis Caruana
Venue 1 Sound Technician

Compere without compare, Ukulele Bill's unique combination of dry wit and occasional rambling incoherence endears him to the performers and the audience alike in his quest to big-up acts like they've never been bigged-up before.  If you're in luck you might get the additional bonus of hearing a ukulele rendition of a Stranglers, JJ Cale, or Nirvana track. Behind the scenes he's also busy assisting with promotion and communicating with artists.
