Daniel Woodgate (born Daniel Mark Woodgate, 19 October 1960, London) is the drummer of the band, Madness. More commonly known by his nickname Woody, he joined the band after being introduced at a rehearsal by bass player Mark Bedford. Woodgate is one of the less regular songwriters in the group, but is credited as co-writer on the hits Return of The Los Palmas 7 and "Michael Caine". His only solo credit is on the track "Sunday Morning" from The Rise & Fall.
Before Madness, Dan Woodgate was in a band called Steel Erection with his younger brother, Nick, who is himself credited as a co-writer on the Madness song "No Money". For a time from 1987, Woodgate also played drums with Voice of the Beehive.
Woody was previously married to Jane Crockford of The Mo-dettes, but now lives with his second wife Siobhan and their daughters, Iona and Mary, in Kent. Until recently he worked at Hayes School, Bromley as a music technician. He has recorded a new album with Madness, The Liberty of Norton Folgate, which was released in May 2009. This year he completed the London Marathon within the time of 3 hours and 45 minutes. Congratulations, Woody.
