In the 1980s and '90s Cape Town classical music recording engineer and sound system enthusiast, the late Donald Graham, released several dozen records on vinyl and cassette tape, on his GSE Claremont Records label. One of his most popular releases was titled, Beautiful Cape Town - Fine Music, "Voices". The compilation set out to showcase Cape Town orchestras and artists from live recordings Donald had made as well as some he acquired the rights to from the 1970's. He was a specialist in live recordings and doing the editing on his analogue tapes and later his digital recordings.  The artist performances on this compilation are as he heard and captured on his microphones and are not enhanced, in other words completely analog acoustic recordings allowing for some wonderful dynamics. (c) SONGWRIGHTS PUBLISHERS There were fourteen tracks in all, featuring such performers by,  Joseph Gabriels,   Lynn Julius,  Aviva Pelham,  Andrea Catzel,  Sally Presa...

Seasoned musicians Tully McCully and Gordon Mackay, have come up with a powerful package of three new songs for release shortly. These they add to their very creative musical story as a duo on the 14th of November 2025. Artwork Laura McCullagh (c) Songwrights Publishers Going under the title - The Quest, they offer a trilogy of yet again instrumentally complex tracks still featuring Tully's esoteric "stream of consciousness, fantasy" vocal text. As before Gordon's virtuoso electric keyboard playing is up front. This is not programmed playing, this is performance recording! Tully and Gordon were part of the McCully Workshop live line-up and Gordon also played on the band's Infinity  release and contributed two of his compositions to the album.  Since then the duo have workshopped and released two albums and a handful of single releases. The last release was a single in April this year.  The duo again followed their usual creative process, with Tully sending Gordon ...

Robin Auld is pretty much the king of South African AAC Rock, with numerous chart hits under his belt.  On November the 7th he releases a new single, the radio version of a track from his latest album, Love Kills - The Collection.  We are perhaps naively calling it a radio mix because it is different to the original - we cut it down to 3:05, this in a time when radio has all but been replaced by streaming playlists.  Pic Jillian Edelstein (c) Songwtights Publishers  The song is Waiting for you , written a few years back and produced by Murray Anderson, now with the edits and re-mastering by Robin himself. It's a Rocker, heavy on electric guitars, a departure from the last acoustic guitar led album title song Love Kills . Robin comments - "The inspiration for Waiting for you comes from my affection for the songs of Lionel Bart, who wrote the music for Oliver. There's a song that Oliver sings which has the line "where is she, who I close my eyes to see, will I e...

  After a bit of a struggle with rights issues we are happy to announce the reissue of the TONY COX album  -  The Summer Comes My Loves . The recordings will be on all platforms from the 5th September 2025 -  Here a few comments from the artist -   Some of these tunes I worked right there on the spot in the studio. I was in a home studio and time was not a factor.  I was away from home and missing my family and doing a bit of channeling. I was though enjoying the freedom to play and experiment; to get to play over my tunes with a different instrument and work on counterparts was a delight.  Once again I let the tunes go where they will so there is much fusing of genres going on with me, almost always.  My daughter Thalo did the beautiful artwork.   Music link - https://orcd.co/22d01dw   LTE  Music Distribution                     ...

Acoustic guitarist Tony Cox has a number of different genre in his diverse repertoire. Enormous Flowers is a full band album of thirteen original songs in the Neo-Soul groove.  Produced by award winning producer Joe Arthur in Johannesburg some years ago, this record has been off the market for a while. It comes back for streaming on the 18th July 2025.   Photo for the re-issue sleeve Here a statement from the artist - After releasing several instrumental albums, Enormous Flowers marked a return to where it all began for me. In those early days, singing took centre stage—I was a regular at folk clubs, known more for my voice than my guitar. Over time, though, my focus shifted. Instrumental guitar music became my main outlet, and eventually, the vocals faded out altogether. Coming back to singing through Enormous Flowers was a deeply emotional and unexpectedly joyful journey. Collaborating with other musicians a...
