Jim is a Glasgow-born jazz guitarist with a distinctive style - like Wes Montgomery before him, picking with the thumb rather than a plectrum. Having played with Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, appearing on the band’s first three albums together with future Average White Band drummer Robbie MacIntosh, Mullen then joined Kokomo and later toured with the Average White Band.It was while both musicians were touring the U.S. with AWB in the mid-70s that Mullen met up with tenor saxophone player Dick Morrissey, and throughout the 1980s, he found considerable critical, if not commercial, acclaim as joint leader of the pioneering British jazz funk band Morrissey - Mullen.
Mullen has also played and recorded with, among others, Pete Brown’s “Piblokto!”, Mose Allison, Hamish Stuart (ex-Average White Band), Tam White, Claire Martin, Mike Carr, Jimmy Witherspoon and Georgie Fame.
He has won many British music awards including “Best Guitar” in the British Telecom Jazz Awards (1994, 1996 and 2000).
Most recently, Jim Mullen has recorded as part of The AllStars a collective of session musicians on their Paul McCartney-produced album All About the Music, alongside special guests Jocelyn Brown, Hamish Stuart and Angelo Starr.

Yes, Craig Charles, performance poet, Red Dwarf, Robot Wars, Coronation Street
and a MASSIVE soul and funk fan...
When BBC 6Music asked him to do a show he had one condition, it had to be a soul and funk show otherwise not interested! And so the “Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show” came into being right at the very start of 6Music, way back in March 2002.
The show is currently broadcast every Saturday night between 7 and 10 and is also available at any time through the listen again facility on the BBC 6 Music iplayer.
Since its inception all varieties of soul and funk music have been aired without imposing any barriers and he is just as enthusiastic about fresh new talent as he is about the classic artists from the golden age of the 60s and 70s.
Here are a few of the names he has on the show:- and they read like a who’s who of guests at the CELLAR..!
