Mundell Music

Mundell Music is a British concert promotion and production company. It was founded in 1999 by David Mundell.

History
Early in his career, Mundell worked as a manager at hotels across the UK for the now defunct British Transport Hotels, part of the British Rail. He later moved into the private sector. Mundell began promoting music at The Famous Bein Inn (Perthshire, Scotland) before buying it in 1999, to achieve greater control over his promotion ventures. In the first year Dave Kelly was the only artist to play at the venue. Successive artists included Curtis Stigers, Long John Baldry, John Martyn, Gene Parsons, Fairport Convention, John Hammond, Andrew Gold, Tony Joe White, Micky Moody, B. A. Robertson, Albert Lee and Snowy White.

The venue developed a reputation for having a "living room feel" where you could enjoy live music as part of an intimate audience (no more than 60 people) while rubbing shoulders with musicians. One notable occasion came when Big Brother and the Holding Company played for two nights, the only time they would play in Scotland. The venue had a large collection of Fender Stratocaster Guitar Scratchplates that Mundell got signed by many artists (including the Kinks, Free, Status Quo and Eric Clapton.

Henry McCullough recorded a live album, Henry McCullough Band Live FBI.
