Tony Cox - Steel String Virtuoso

Next month we commence a series of re-issues that highlight the career of the Steel String Guitar virtuoso Tony Cox.

'The World Went Quiet is his most recent release and is essentially a self-penned, instrumental album that includes three vocal tracks. Tony produced and recorded all tracks at home in the depth of the Covid Pandemic'.

The re-issue date is - 18th October 2024

Here a press release text from the artist -

The World Went Quiet came about during the Covid shutdown when we were all told to stay at home and not hug or touch each other. I hunkered down in a tiny room in Gainsborough, UK and poured myself into this little album.

It was a strange time and we lost so many people who were close to our family. The album reflects these times but does not dwell there.

I put in quite a bit of heavy groove and jumpy stuff to keep your foot tapping, and even humour. I really hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.

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.
