Geoff Mullin

In the early 1960s Geoff Mullin was a DJ at Manchester’s Twisted Wheel club. He was manager of Danny and the Demons and The Hellions, lead vocalist of The Wailers with Ian «Big Wal» Waller, Lek Leckenby and Barry Whitwam, then The Zodiacs and The Yaks - and became road manager for The Four Pennies. Geoff Mullin also spent a couple of years in Norway in the mid 60s, singing under the stage name of Jeff Young, performing occasionally with The Vanguards, The Actions and other Norwegian groups. In the UK he released a solo single as Jason James on CBS in 1967 — and wrote/co-wrote songs for other artists such as Mary McCarthy, Kippington Lodge and Herman's Hermits —under his real name Mullin or under the pseudonym 'Brook' (sometimes spelled 'Brooks' or 'Brookes'). Mullin also worked in the music press for Record Mirror, Billboard, Music Week, and BBC Radio 2 producer for Terry Wogan, Kenny Everett and Michael Aspel among many others. After a brief period as Head of Music at Melody Radio in London Mullin returned to the BBC as Head of Music Policy for the remainder of his radio career.
