McCully/Mackay trilogy of new Progrock songs

Seasoned musicians Tully McCully and Gordon Mackay, have come up with a powerful package of three new songs for release shortly. These they add to their very creative musical story as a duo on the 14th of November 2025.

Going under the title - The Quest, they offer a trilogy of yet again instrumentally complex tracks still featuring Tully's esoteric "stream of consciousness, fantasy" vocal text. As before Gordon's virtuoso electric keyboard playing is up front. This is not programmed playing, this is performance recording!

Tully and Gordon were part of the McCully Workshop live line-up and Gordon also played on the band's Infinity release and contributed two of his compositions to the album. 

Since then the duo have workshopped and released two albums and a handful of single releases. The last release was a single in April this year. The duo again followed their usual creative process, with Tully sending Gordon the basic tracks (drums, bass guitar and vocals) and Gordon ("using some of the stone's magic" McCully) brought the three songs to life. 

Tully also comments on the new tracks -  "This is a saga told in three parts, The Quest is the story of a band of mystics who embark on an epic journey searching for a stone that promises eternal life. Through their adventures, they eventually learn the stone has been shattered into grains of sand and scattered across the world - but this enables everyone to share some of its power."

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...
