    Oh blimey……saw him many a time back in the day.
    Very popular on the London 1960’s music scene and a prolific artist who seemed to be everywhere, all of the time.
    RIP…..Zoot….RIP

    Saw him at the Bromley Court Hotel with his bluesband. Great band leader + decades later playing organ live for Kevin Ayers. He had his trousers attached on that occasion!

    Saw him several times at the Black Prince in the mid 60's.

    Fantastic showman with his Big Roll Band used to have the whole place rockin'.

    Up there with Geno Washington and his Ram Jam Band as one of the best acts around.

    Still have my copy of Big Time Operator.

    RIP Zoot.

    Yeah, I saw him a couple of times with Alan Price, the last time maybe 6-7 years ago (which is quite something given that I have a book from the 1970s which described Zoot Money then as a 'veteran').

    Zoot & Alan played every month I think at the Bulls Head in Barnes, and Alan Price is still going strong at 82, playing there next Thursday ( a good night if you're in the neighbourhood).  RIP Zoot

    I sent you a PM a few months back regarding Geno Washington, did you receive it?

    Jools Holland used to do the odd boogie-woogie gig there when he was about 12 or 13 .. The Mitre one of MANY music venues in Greenwich/Lewisham way back when
