Ted Mulry Gang - Discography

TED MULRY GANG 


Born: September 2, 1947 – Died: September 1, 2001
R.I.P.

Though born in England, Martin Albert Mulry, aka Ted Mulry, found fame in Australia, first as a songwriter and balladeer and then as frontman for '70s rockers the Ted Mulry Gang, who were regulars on the country's pub rock circuit for a decade. Ted Mulry arrived in Australia in 1969, where he worked in Sydney driving a bulldozer until his friends convinced him to send demos of his songs to the famous Albert Productions label, home of the Easybeats. At that point Mulry had only considered writing songs for others and had to be talked into recording one of the songs, "Julia," himself. It made the charts after being released as a single through EMI subsidiary Parlophone in 1970. Harry Vanda and George Young of the Easybeats wrote his next hit single, "Falling in Love Again," which was released a year later. Also in 1971 he briefly moved back to England, where he signed a contract with Blue Mountain Records. Unimpressed with his name and the bulldozer-driver image that had helped him in Australia, they convinced him to release his sole single with them, "Ain't It Nice," under the name Steve Ryder. Failing to dent the English charts, he returned to Sydney and his career as Ted Mulry soon after, releasing the albums Falling in Love Again and I Won't Look Back.

great stuff ... no "Steppin' Out" or "Lokced In"

Probably the most likeable band of the 70s in Australia (as opposed to being the best, not that they were ever bad).

Hi wob
I know that I do have those albums somewhere here in my studio but I need to move millions of albums to find them LOL

Ozzieguy said...

Hi PB
Yes mate they were very popular, I actually enjoyed being on stage with Ted one time. Nice bloke.
Best Wishes
Ozzieguy

PB said...

Were you supporting, or backing or something?

TMG were the perfect support band because they always put on a great show, without ever taking attention away from the headliner. I recall them being held in very high regard as unpretentious, genuine guys who were reliable and easy to get along with. I miss those days of Australian music. They knew how to maximise simplicity (if that makes sense).

PB said...

Very hard to find. I had them as vinyls. Locked in isn't really that great compared to say...Struttin' which was a pub-rock gem.
Not a dud moment to be heard on it.

Ozzieguy said...

True PB, not a dud moment.

Ozzieguy said...

We were playing in the same venue and I was asked to join Ted and play and sing along with him and the gang.
A very great moment.

PB said...

How great was that.

Ozzieguy said...

Sure was mate, plus a few other great memories like when I was 13 I met Roy Orbison back stage after his show here in Perth.
He was such a nice and genuine man.
