McDermott joins The Trak when the group split in 1967

[Terry Bishop & The Zodiacs] The roots of this band lay in a previous seven-piece skiffle group. Main protagonists McDermott and Clarke soon discovered Suggitt and started rehearsing at Bottisham Village College and were one night interrupted by Chapman who asked if they needed a drummer. Chapman recalls an early gig at The Burwell Ex-Service Club. “The place was packed and the crowd had to dance around a pile of rubble in the middle of the dance floor as the club was in the middle of refurbishment.” Chapman moved on to join The Prowlers and at this point, Casbolt ex-frontman of The Fab Beats joined the Zodiacs.
