The Zoots have a few trophies in the cabinet, having won the Corporate Live Wire Innovation and Excellence awards' band of the year in 2022 and the UK's Best Pop Music Cover Band at the Global Entertainment Awards in 2018.

The Stage has praised the band, saying: "The Zoots are the kind of talented, young band it's impossible not to like, totally confident in their ability to entertain."

Frontman and manager Jamie Goddard's songs have been used in adverts for OKI and Nokia, and his music has even helped students learn English in China.

The Searchers' manager Alan Field said: "Jamie is a great singer, musician, and talented songwriter.

"He also happens to be a great guy."
