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.

New Tony Cox re-issue - Enormous Flowers

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...
