Spotted by “British Blues Godfather”, Alexis Korner’s then manager, Zoot was invited to play with Korner’s seminal Blues Incorporated

In the late 1960s, after scoring a hit with Big Time Operator, The Big Roll Band metamorphosed into the prototype psychedlia outfit, Dantalian’s Chariot, sharing the bill with the likes of Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett vintage), Soft Machine and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

A brief stint with Eric Burdon’s American-based New Animals followed before Zoot signed up in 1980 to Paul McCartney’s label, MPL, to record the Jim Diamond-produced Mr Money.
