Frieze – Feelings
Frieze is half of Zoot, Darryl Cotton and Beeb Birtles. Frieze lasted almost exactly one year, from June 1971 to June 1972. Their first single, a cover of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil’s “Feelings” (Sep. 1971), came out on on Robie Porter’s Sparmac label and managed to scrape into the lower reaches of the Melbourne chart. They were then signed up by the newly established Australian division of Warner Brothers Records.

Beeb Birtles: “After ZOOT broke up I stopped playing bass guitar and taught myself to play chords on a very cheap nylon string guitar in the flat where I was living with Barry Smith from The Town Criers. The year was 1971.”
