McCully Workshop debut album now available digitally

  On the 23rd May 2025 the debut album by Cape Town rockers McCully Workshop, will be available digitally for the first time. The record was never available as a CD. 

Recorded in their "garage studio" in Plumstead, Cape Town in the 1980s by Tully McCully and brother Mike, it was the beginning of a career in music that has been sustained for over 40 years. Comprising nine original songs under the title McCully Workshop Inc. , the release was initially available on vinyl and music cassette.

Tully rescued the analog master and restored the recordings to the exacting standards required for a digital release. 

This release is part of a project re-issuing the productions of Tully McCully that were no longer on the market. It follows the reissue of the group's second album in February this year.

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...
