It's Christmas Day - Zayn Adam is Giving Love Away


Merry Christmas, oh yeah!

There are a lot of Christmas songs that come out from under the covers at the end of the year.

The late Zayn Adam sang one for us in the 1980s which we circulated, sort of "internally", as a greeting card to our partners. The masters lay dormant for the last 25 years but producer Terence McCullagh dug the multi-track tape out of storage, when we were looking for some Zayn recordings to remix for a Power Ballads EP. Christmas Day was one of the tracks he found.

Zayn used to keep an ear open for local (South Africa based) writers for his releases. The aforementioned EP includes two such songs, scouted by him. One is this composition by Seva Diva and James Dowdles, who wrote the Christmas Day, specially for Zayn.

The lead vocal track is very powerful, which is why we included it of the Ballads EP release. 


McCullagh has added a lot of new production elements and made a single edit for this release. The release is now titled, Christmas Day, I'm Giving Love Away, and it will be available on all digital platforms from the 6th of November 2020.

You can gift it as a download to your loved one through -  iTunes.

McCully/Mackay Prog Rock project

Terence McCullagh aka. Tully McCully, has pulled in keyboard specialist Gordon Mackay to partner with him on his first solo album.  Tully and Gordon have performed together in McCully Workshop, but what they are offering this time is very different to the sort of music they do in their band.  Tully started out recording this new material on his own and then saw that it would be appropriate to have an instrument that is featured in solos and special parts of the songs. Tully is a multi-instrumentalist with bass and guitar being his specialities.   Adding Gordon, who is  classically schooled and a  virtuoso electric keyboard player, provided just the right additional elements required for the musical style they are recording.
