The Zutons formed in Liverpool in 2001, taking their name from Captain Beefheart ‘s Magic Band guitarist Zoot Horn Rollo . McCabe had previously been in the band Tramp Attack. Both Pritchard and Payne were members of Edgar Jones ‘ post Stairs band The Big Kids (with Sean’s brother Howie Payne of The Stands ). The band was originally a four-piece, before Payne’s girlfriend Abi Harding began joining The Zutons on stage for a couple of songs mid-set, playing simple saxophone lines. The other band members liked the way her saxophone enhanced their sound and Harding became a full member, contributing vocals and sax.
