Revision as of 01:06, 30 July 2008
Mick 'Woody' Woodmansey (born c. 1951) is an English rock drummer from Driffield, Yorkshire, best known for his work with David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars. He played on Bowie's albums The Man Who Sold the World (1970), Hunky Dory (1971), The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), and Aladdin Sane (1973).
Two years after Bowie "retired" Ziggy Stardust and broke up the Spiders from Mars in 1973, Woodmansey re-formed the band for one album, along with bass player Trevor Bolder. This necessitated a change of personnel, with Dave Black on lead guitar and Pete McDonald supplying lead vocals. Guest keyboardist was Mike Garson, who had been a major part of Bowie's line-up from the Ziggy Stardust days.
After the final disbandment of the Spiders, he formed his own band, Woodmanseys U Boat, releasing a debut album U Boat in 1977. The album was subsequently re-released in 2006 as Woody Woodmansey's U-Boat (Castle Music ESMCD895)..
Woodmansey has also played with Art Garfunkel.
He played in the band Cybernauts, and currently features as drummer with Sueshe.
