McCullagh doing a solo project.

One of South Africa's (SA) best known Rock Music artists, Terence McCullagh is working on his first solo album.

McCullagh, better known as Tully McCully, has headed up McCully Workshop, for over thirty years. The band have had multiple hits, including the SA pop music standard, The Buccaneer. Tully is the bass player and lead vocalist for the group. They released their last album, Infinity, one of many, as recently as October last year.

McCullagh is also known for his record production activities, with hits by Lesley Rae Dowling, Crocodile Harris, Zayn Adam and others to his credit.

His Spaced Out Sounds Studios, where he was resident for most of his professional career, turned out dozens, perhaps hundreds, of award winning TV and radio commercials. In all that time he never made a solo record of his own music, as a solo act.

During the last part of the production of the Infinity album, the label Tin Can Discs, considered peeling off one or two tracks submitted by McCullagh because they were more personal and not typical McCully Workshop tunes. Tully said no to the idea, but said that he might consider doing a solo album in the near future.

The Corona lockdown has provided the moment to reflect and finish off writing some more progressive music and to consider arranging it in his preferred style.

News of this album will be released on these pages soon.

This was posted when Tully started the idea of a separate music space to his involvement in McCully Workshop. During the process of recording he decided that he would call in the talent of Gordon Mackay. Hence the beginning of McCully/Mackay.

Tony Cox Live at National Arts Fest.

 The Grahamstown National Arts Festival is one of South Africa's premier arts festivals. An invitation to perform there is seen as an important recognition for theatre directors, actors, film makers, composers and musicians. Tony Cox was invited to do a solo show there in 2005. The show was recorded and this album is the result. Sparkling solo guitar work! Re-issued on Mountain Records on the 5th of May 2025.   Media Quote - " This is Tony Cox in full flight. Recorded live at one of South Africa's premier festivals, Cox delivers up a staggering display of six-string prowess. The man really is a genre of one and within the larger framework of world class guitar players, his particular fusion of whatever inspires him within the African framework of where he lives, is totally unique."
