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.

Lesley Rae Dowling and Tully McCully - a new single

South African songstress Lesley Rae Dowling sent shock waves through the local pop music business with her stunningly individual style of vocal delivery when she came on the scene in the early 1980s. Her producer Tully McCully wrote Grips of Emotion for her and it hit the charts in January 1982. The follow-up release, her debut album revealed that she was also a serious songwriter. Her song Spaniard was the second single to garner heavy rotation leading to the first album going gold not long afterwards. Visual for the new release featuring Lesley from the time of her debut releases . Since then Lesley has released about a dozen albums mostly in her home country but she also has releases in Australia and the Benelux. Last month Tully was going through his archive and stumbled on a multi-track tape containing a song she recorded that never made it onto any of Lesley's main album releases and never released digitally, so not available for streaming or download.

The Tully McCully Project - meticulous, manicured, progressive rock.

It is a real surprise that Tully McCully, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and record producer of countless artists has never released a Tully solo album - until now! The new record is titled Comedy Tragedy. Tully is the frontman and bass player of McCully Workshop, the producer of Lesley Rae Dowling and Crocodile Harris, (and many others) who have topped the charts in his homeland over the last thirty years. He is known for his entertaining (even theatrical) live presence on stage. He is a talented mimic and possesses wonderful comedic timing. On this collection he plays all but one instrument and does all the male vocals, besides his work behind the desk of his famous Spaced Out Sound Studios in Cape Town, South Africa. Recently he has been recording introspective music, notably his progrock collaboration with keyboard wizard Gordon Mackay, and his folk pop releases under the name of Jaspers's Acolytes. Anyone who is a serious contemporary music fan from 1970s and 80s wil...
