Bobbie Clarke (born Robert William Woodman, 13 June 1940 – 29 August 2014) was an English rock drummer. He was regarded by critics [which?] as an important figure in the configuration of early British rock and roll, although he is often chiefly remembered for his long term association as the drummer with Vince Taylor and the Playboys.
Bobbie would play on the Vince Taylor classic Brand new Cadillac, and his reputation as a class drummer soared. By 1961 we had moved on and was still using his real name Bobby Woodman, with his own band The Bobby Woodman Noise, the band played the prestigious Olympia in Paris, with Wee Willie Harris down to top the bill.
