Quite simply the biggest character on the British rhythm and blues scene since the early 1960s
Zoot formed the first incarnation of the Big Roll band in 1961.
In addition, Zoot has featured with (amongst others) the Grimms, Ellis, Centipede, Kevin Coyne and Kevin Ayers, plus a brief stint with Eric Burdon’s American-based New Animals. In 1980 he signed up to Paul McCartney’s label, MPL, to record the Jim Diamond-produced Mr. Money. 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, for example, and he has also written for such artists as Lulu, Maggie Bell and Long John Baldry.

Slim Chance has its origin in the early 70's, formed by the legendary and brilliant songwriter, Ronnie Lane, who had been a mainstay of both the Small Faces and The Faces.
Slim Chance today is a tight band of good friends, which has evolved around three original members of Ronnie's band - Steve Bingham, Charlie Hart and Steve Simpson. They are now regularly joined by Brendan O'Neill, Billy Nicholls, and Geraint Watkins, and together they deliver a unique and entertaining show, both joyous and of a high musical calibre.
