For the ex-footballer, see Bobby Graham (footballer)

Bobby Graham (born Robert Francis Neate on March 11, 1940 at North Middlesex Hospital, Silver Street, Edmonton, North London, England) is a session musician and has been described as the most recorded drummer in the United Kingdom, or alternatively, Europe.

Brian Epstein chose Bobby Graham when he decided to remove Pete Best from The Beatles. Bobby turned him down as he was then the drummer for a much more successful band, Joe Brown and The Bruvvers, and so Epstein instead chose Ringo Starr.

Bobby has also toured the UK as drummer in his own jazz band.
