Zoot Serious and the Bellyful of Bop is an eleven-piece band based in the north west of England performing high energy rhythm and blues. Playing repertoire from early Louis Jordan Jump Jive right through the blues tradition to the contemporary sounds of modern swing, as well as songs from the classic soul tradition from Wilson Pickett to James Brown.
Formed twelve years ago the band has delighted audiences at festivals, venues and functions up and down the UK and throughout Europe.
With a tight rhythm section pinning down the beat expect sawing guitar solos from lead player Nick Down. Described in Blues Review as “…possessing a blistering stratocaster sneer…..playing with a confident style steeped in the history of blues guitar.” With bubbling Hammond organ and a recondite understanding of blues piano styles down the years Ian Johnson has the keys sown up. Vocalist Nick Haggart has limitless energy on stage and strong vocal delivery. The massive Six-piece horn section ensures that every show goes off with a bang, adding a real punch to the overall sound of the band.
On the 5th of August 2006 Zoot Serious & the B.O.B. Played in the courtyard of Alexander’s Jazz Theatre in Chester, this is a regular gig for us, but this night was different as we were outside as part of the Chester Jazz & Blues festival, it was a great night and coincided with the release of our eponymous second CD. If you're interested in buying a CD, message us through this page and we'll contact you with details. Below are photos from the night.

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.
This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!
It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm
As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
