Henry Campbell Liken McCullough (21 July 1943 – 14 June 2016) was a Northern Irish guitarist, singer and songwriter. He was best known for his work as a member of Spooky Tooth, the Grease Band and Paul McCartney and Wings. He also performed and recorded as a solo artist and session musician. He first came to prominence in the early 1960s as the teenage lead guitarist with the Skyrockets showband from Enniskillen. In 1964, with three other members of the Skyrockets, he left and formed a new showband fronted by South African born vocalist Gene Chetty, which they named Gene and the Gents. I heard them performing in the Royal Arms Hotel in Omagh at the height of the show bands era.
