Nice to see the clips, but its a sad loss.

Without doubt, one of the greats. Very sorry to hear this news. One of my all time favourite guitar solos is on Dave Berry's 'My Baby Left Me' which I was told is played by Big Jim.

RIP Big Jim.

I hope you don't mind being corrected Martin,
The solo on 'My Baby Left Me' was in fact Jimmy Page.
Big Jim Sullivan played the solo's on 'The Crying Game' & 'One Heart Between Two', using the DeArmond 610 pedal, which inspired HBM to buy one for himself to try.

Thanks for that Dave...I can't remember where I got the info that it was Big Jim; regardless though, a fabulous solo. Never been a huge Jimmy Page fan previously so may have to re-adjust my thinking now!

R.I.P. Big Jim...

Very sad, one of my early heroes.

A great loss of a superb musician...RIP Big JIm...

Interesting that, in the same way Cliff got a Strat for Hank, Marty Wilde gave Big Jim the goldtop Gibson Les Paul which he bought from Sister Rosetta Tharpe when she toured the UK in about 1957/8...

I first got to hear Big Jim on Brian's Change of Address Album.
Wow! he was brilliant.

There was a tribute played to him on Irish National Radio Yesterday.

May he rest in peace.

You probably mean "Change Of Direction". "Change Of Address" is The Shadows' 1980 album.
