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."

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.
