McNulty was born in Liverpool in December 1951. He joined German heavy rock band Hazzard in 1984, which had been formed by Herman Frank, formerly of Accept, and recorded their debut album Hazzard.[2] In 1985, he was invited to join Sweet, where he played bass before taking over vocals, recording the albums Live at the Marquee, A and Alive & Giggin'! as well as the singles "X-Ray-Specs" and "Stand Up".[3] He left the band in 1994. During his time with Sweet, he also collaborated on the side project, Paddy Goes to Holyhead with Andy Scott (also of Sweet), releasing two singles, the Tom Jones covers "The Green Green Grass of Home" and "Delilah" in 1987 (the former in turn being a cover of the Curly Putman-penned song first performed by Johnny Darrell and first popularized by Porter Wagoner).[4] He also played session bass and sang backing vocals for Norwegian Ole I'Dole on This Ole Town.[5] In 2005, he joined Slade on vocals and guitar, taking over from Steve Whalley.[6]
