McCully/Mackay album announced

We are happy to announce that their album title is The Unicorns are Screaming

Tully McCully (Terence McCullagh) and Gordon Mackay have come together to create a new album project of their kind of music, Progressive Rock. Terence is a multi-talented artist, with years of production and performing experience. Gordon is a classically trained keyboard player who moved into jazz and rock.

The two had performed together in rock bands and when Terence decided to start work on a solo project, Gordon was the obvious choice for the keyboard sessions. As the project progressed, they realised that they should also write music together. The result is that Gordon contributed to three songs to the album, one of which is all his composition. Terence wrote seven tracks alone.

Some time ago, Terence sold his successful recording studio business and built a dedicated studio in his Cape Town home. There he could create in his own time. We had worked together in the 1980s on different artists including his productions of Lesley Rae Dowling

One of his pet projects was the band Falling Mirror whose final album was recorded at his home studio. My firm distributed the back catalogue recordings of the cult group and I wanted to add his new production to the band's catalogue. The record features some of the best guitar recordings of the late Allan Faull. Since then there have been numerous McCullagh productions released by my labels. 

During the process of producing the tracks for the latest McCully Workshop album, I remarked that some of the material might fit into a solo project by Terence. He had not actually done a solo album though many of his productions with other acts are often very much McCullagh creations.

The new album is a personal choice of repertoire. The lyrics too are very personal. It is a musical statement and not an obviously commercial release. They have delivered a ten track album, with the artists being billed as McCully/Mackay.

McCully/Mackay reveal title track for their forthcoming second album

  McCully/Mackay reveal title track for their forthcoming second album Progrock duo McCully/Mackay are proud to announce The Garden of the Snake, their new single and title track for their forthcoming second album.  Darker both musically and lyrically than their previous works, the track explores themes of exploitation, manipulation and corruption inspired by familiar myths and parables as well as the modern landscape of our ever-increasingly authoritarian world. “There’s an increasing number of laws and encroachment on individuals” says Tully.  “Levels of ever-growing red tape are suffocating creativity and expression. It’s a system that benefits the wealthy and powerful, who can buy their own justice.” The band are known for their bold instrumentation and continue to push their skills with their new material. Along with the signature synth and guitar sounds, Garden of the Snake heightens the eerie atmosphere with a violin solo. "Tully was hinting at me playing some
