A multi-award winner (receiving a special, honorary Parliamentary Jazz Award in 2017), Jim Mullen is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz guitarists in Europe. Originally from Glasgow he made his name working with a number of seminal bands through the 70’s and 80’s including Brian Auger’s “Oblivion Express”, The Average White Band and his own highly acclaimed jazz/funk band “Morrissey Mullen”. A highly prized sideman as well as leader Jim also includes work with the likes of Mose Allison, Jimmy Witherspoon, Georgie Fame and Gene Harris on a stellar cv. This afternoon Jim will be performing material from his latest album "Volunteers" with his quite remarkable, hand-picked 9 piece band featuring a who's who of UK jazz: Steve Fishwick-trumpet, Mark Nightingale-trombone, Alan Barnes-sax, Julian Siegel-sax, Gareth Williams-piano, Mick Hutton-bass, Tristan Mailliot-drums and the fantastic flute playing of Gareth Lockrane, who also wrote most of the arrangements....
