Crocodile Harris' debut re-mixed

 Miss Eva Goodnight was written by the McCullagh brothers in South Africa in the 1970s. 

They recruited Crocodile Harris, the stage name for the late Robin Graham, a young singer at the time, with hopes of making a career in pop music. Terence (Tully) McCullagh asked him to try out a vocal take on the back tracks for the song the brothers had prepared.

Tully remembers that Harris added a special delivery to the lyrics. "He did not sing it exactly as we wrote it, but his approach was very catchy. The local EMI representative heard Croc's version and that was it. He signed and we got a number one record", said Tully. 

They had launched a new pop act who went on to follow-up on this debut. More re-issues are planned.

The original release was issued in the 1970s. Last month Tully re-produced the song, keeping only Harris' vocal. The new production was released on the 2nd of July 2021.

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.

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
