Baby Tuckoo was an English hard rock band, formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England in 1982.[1] Their name is taken from the first sentence of the James Joyce novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.[2] They were generally considered a part of the second generation of new wave of British heavy metal.[1]
