    George Bruno Money, AKA Zoot Money (born 1942), famous for his Big Roll Band and acting career is still with us. He played a character called Lotterby in the 1979 film titled Porridge. Zoot made his first public band appearance in Bournemoth in November 1961, thereafter he had R&B, soul, jazz and rock bands, in which he played alongside many musician associates. He is also well known as a bit part and character actor. Check out his Wikipedia page.
