Roderick Woomble (born 13 August 1976 in Irvine, Scotland) is the lead singer of Scottish rock group, Idlewild. In 2006 Woomble worked with several musicians including Kate Rusby, his wife Ailidh Lennon, songwriter Karine Polwart (to whom he presented the Horizon Award at the BBC Folk Awards 2005) and Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones on his debut solo album My Secret is My Silence, produced by John McCusker (ex husband of Kate Rusby).
