Mr Bucke (fl. 1870-1880) was a musician and choral master.
Biography
Nothing about his life, beyond his involvement in Cape Town from 1872-1873, has yet been found.
Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance
According to F.C.L. Bosman (1980), he was important in various capacities in the musical life of Cape Town between in the late 1870s-1880s. He apparently founded (or perhaps taken over or resuscitated?) the Cape Town Choral Society round about 1872 (Bosman has contradictory information about this).He seems to have become a rival in cultrual matters for J.H. Ashley (fl. 1850-1870).
