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.
