 Paul McCartney has contributed to a new Henry McCullough tribute single (conceived with Don Mescall before Henry's death in 2016.)The highly experienced Irish musician passed away in 2016, following a lengthy career that included a vital contribution to Wings. A tribute single has been arranged to salute his memory, and it features an all-star cast of musicians. |
Written by Henry and Don Mescall, 'Live Long Rock 'n' Roll' is a moving tribute to the talents of Henry McCullough, and was recorded by super group "McCullough's Fusiliers", which is made up of: Procul Harum singer Gary Brooker (Vocals), Beatles legend Paul McCartney (Bass), Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason (Drums), legendary English musician Chris Stainton (Keyboards), internationally acclaimed Irish songwriter Don Mescall (Acoustic Guitars), renowned guitarist Albert Lee (Electric Guitars), diverse English musician Paul Carrack & Irish legend Paul Brady (Backing Vocals), and The London Community Gospel Choir (Additional backing vocals).
Henry was the only Irish man to play Woodstock, and I'd just started working with the protest singer Richie Havens - who opened Woodstock. So that opened the door for us becoming friends.
'Live Long Rock 'n' Roll' will be released on 16th August along with the 15 track album of Henry's solo tracks 'Ballywonderland' on the Proper Record Label.
