The track is the first new release from the iconic band since their 2019 album ‘Infinity’. Since then, guitarist Richard Black has relocated to the UK, making 'Beginnings' the first time the band has created music completely remotely. 


"Though we're not able to play live together anymore, we still chat all the time and all agreed it would be nice to do a new project involving everybody", says Tully (lead vocals and bass).

The song recalls the band's iconic hit 'Buccaneer' and was conceived as an ode to the band's heritage as well as humanity's love for and creation of music over the millennia.

"There is music in everyone. Some let out, some keep it in, but it's always been there" says Mike (drums and backing vocals), to which Gordon (keyboard and backing vocals), quips "some should rather never let it out!" before adding "A great song that came together with the five of us independently creating our individual parts, each of us oblivious to the other’s ideas and yet the result sounds as though we were all in the same studio. Very proud to be a part of this project."

For Rupert (lead vocals and keyboard), it was one of the band's most enjoyable projects, "The song is not overly complex but quite haunting lyrically. And yet again we have maintained the McCully trademark harmonies. So recognizable."

"The song is the essence of all that is great about the band", says Richard (guitar and backing vocals) "and I cherish the challenge of creating meaningful guitar parts and playing them as live as possible...and adding vocal flavours to help complete the McCully Workshop magic."

"Beginnings" is available on all digital platforms from May the 20th 2022.

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...
