Denny Seiwell & Henry McCullough

Denny Seiwell was the first drummer in Wings, joining the band in 1971 although he had already worked with Paul McCartney as the session drummer hired for Ram. Henry McCullough had been working with Joe Cocker and his legendary Grease Band when he auditioned to join McCartney's new band.

Denny and Henry appeared on the first Wings album 'Wings Wild Life', and 1973's 'Red Rose Speedway'. They toured with Paul and Linda and Denny Laine on the bands' debut tour in February 1972, which consisted of 11 dates at various universities around England, famously beginning in Nottingham, where the student union were amazed when Paul McCartney turned up in a van asking to play there!

The subsequent European Tour in the summer of 72 was on a far grander scale and following the recording of 'My Love', for which Henry recorded probably his most acclaimed guitar solo, 'Red Rose Speedway' and 'Live and Let Die', and two short UK tours in 1973, Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough decided to leave Wings.

As well as his time with Macca, Denny has worked with Joe Cocker, Donovan and The Who with the London Symphony Orchestra on the Rock Opera 'Tommy'.

Henry continued to work with various artists including Ronnie Lane, Donovan, Marianne Faithfull and Eric Burdon until an accident in the early 80's damaged the tendons in his hand. It took several years of rehabilitation but in the late 80's he began to play again, working with various bands in Ireland. He continues to tour with his own band and this year will present a series of 'An Evening with Henry McCullough' shows, to commemorate his 60th birthday.
