In addition to his live music and acting talents, Zoot is no mean songwriter. His song “It Never Rains but it Pours” was recorded by Jimmy Witherspoon. He has also written for such artists as Lulu, Maggie Bell and Long John Baldry.

Since the 1980s, Zoot has continued to appear regularly, as a featured artist and accomplished Hammond player with groups such as The Spencer Davis Band, Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames, Mick Taylor, Alan Price’s Electric Blues Band, Humble Pie, The Blues Band, The Foundations, Geno Washington’s Soul Train and The Animals.

In 2005 Zoot teamed up with Pete Goodall of Thunderclap Newman to record a CD of new songs by Goodall and Brown plus a re-working of the original single “Something In The Air”. The band went on to tour the UK under the name GoodMoney.
