The mighty BIG JIM SULLIVAN was by far the most innovative, influential guitarist of the first generation of British Rock & Rollers.
He carved out a big reputation leading Marty Wilde's celebrated Wildcats at the age of only seventeen, and was established as the UK's first-choice session guitarist before he was twenty-one.
