George Bruno "Zoot" Money (born 17 July 1942, in Bournemouth, Dorset) is a vocalist, keyboardist, bandleader and actor best known for his playing of the Hammond Organ and the Big Roll Band. Inspired by Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles he was drawn to Rock and Roll music and soon became a leading light in the vibrant music scene of Bournemouth, during the 1960s.

The Big Roll Band and The Flamingo Club, London

In 1961 Zoot Money formed the first incarnation of the Big Roll band with a line-up of Money lead vocals, Roger Collis lead guitar (born Roger Alan Collis, 7 June 1941, in Bournemouth, Dorset), Al Kirtley piano (born Edward Alan Kirtley, 20 December 1942, in Bournemouth, Dorset)[1], Mike "Monty" Montgomery on bass and Johnny Hammond on drums. The second line-up from 1962 was Pete Brookes on drums (born Peter Brookes, 24 February 1941, in Oakhampton, Devon), Johnny King on bass and Kevin Drake on tenor sax.

The Big Roll band played soul, jazz and R&B developing their music to move with musical trends, as the blues and R&B movement moved into the Swinging Sixties. Their act included the flamboyant antics of frontman Money and they became assoiciated with the burgeoning Soho scene, soon becoming popular with the UK's movers and shakers.

During February 1964 the line-up settled with Zoot Money on piano and Hammond organ lead guitarist Andy Summers, who later became a member of The Police, sax player Nick Newall and drummer Colin Allen. Nurturing a passion for Ray Charles and the Hammond organ Money moved to London with this line up. During the same year The Big Roll Band started playing regularly at The Flamingo in Soho London. The band soon became the headline act on a permanent basis until Money was spotted by Alexis Korner and joined Korner's Blues Incorporated.
