In 1887 Arthur William Cooke opened a music shop in Norwich. The family run music stores have been in business ever since.
In 1965 Brian Morrison started Cookes Band Instruments from a small store located in St Margaret's Street in Norwich, soon moved to current premises in St Benedicts Street.
Matthew Morrison is 5th generation of the Cooke family and the current Managing Director. Matthew joined the company as a Saturday boy when he was 14 years old.

Matthew and the team supply guitars, live sound and PA systems, recording products, specialist lighting and effects and drum accessories.
