Zoot Money, who packed several centuries of life into his 82 years, the radge. On top of his game pioneering Proper Mannies’ R&B in the London clubs during what trainspotterly closed-mind numbrains refer to as “the 60s” (aye, Pat Boone and the 13th Floor Elevators aye had a pint together), and influenced nearly everybody who chiselled those sounds into their act. That’s you, Paul Weller and Kevin Rowland. He even gave Andy ‘Somers’ a gig.

An affa radge, as opposed to a right radge. Supported the Dons, used the terms “chipper”, “buttery”, and frequently had a plate of his ain hame-made skirlie atop his Hammond B3 (these statements are subject to validation).

I know him more for his acting stuff rather than his music, although I was aware he was mostly a musician.

How come he was a supporter of the finest? I didn't think he was from these parts.
