After Zoot, Birtles and Cotton almost immediately formed a duo called Darryl and Beeb, which became Frieze when they were sponsored by Frieze Brothers (a clothing company). The band released a single, Feelings, in September 1971 on Sparmac Records and an album, BC 1972, on Warner Brothers in June 1972 using session musicians (produced by Brian Cadd). Two singles failed to chart.
Frieze disbanded in May and Cotton travelled to America while Birtles joined Mississippi (previously known as Allison Gros and then as Drummond). Mississippi evolved into Little River Band in 1975.
Zoot bandmate Springfield also signed with Sparmac and released Speak to the Sky in October 1971. Sparmac owner Robie Porter was also Springfield’s producer and manager.

Lyrics:
Feelings are washing over me like summer rain
I feel as if I’m being born again
Alive and warm and free the way that I was meant to be
