Third Reunion: Vince Taylor and The Bobbie Clarke Noise
In 1967 Clarke returned to France and reformed "The Noise" with bass player Dave Curtis (ex lead singer of The Tremors), and guitarist Brian Griffiths, and once again gave it a go, with frontman Vince Taylor. In 1968 guitarist Ritchie Blackmore asked Clarke to join a new band called Roundabout (which later became known as Deep Purple). Bobbie brought with him Dave Curtis. Clarke and Curtis became dissatisfied with the style of the music and left to form a new band of their own with Steve Howe (later to join the band Yes) and singer/guitarist Clive Maldoon.

Famous quotes containing the words taylor, clarke and/or noise:
“To tangle Adams race
In’s stratagems”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
““Wherever there’s Kellys there’s trouble,” said Burke,
“Wherever fighting’s the game,
Or a spice of danger in grown man’s work,”
Said Kelly, “you’ll find my name.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
