Gilson Lavis RIP 17:26 - Nov 7 with 981 views

Just seen the very sad news that drummer Gilson Lavis has died.

BBC News - Squeeze drummer Gilson Lavis dies aged 74
https://www.bbc.com/news/artic

A long time drummer for Jools Holland and Squeeze before that, he hung up his drum sticks last year.
I'd seen him play several times and he was a great drummer.
Both Gilson and Clem going this year has seen two drumming legends leave us.

Here's Gilson doing his thing.

Bloody hell. Jools Holland sent a message last week saying that Gilson was retiring.

That's a shame, he was a fantastic drummer, saw him with Squeeze and Jools Holland a few times!

To make him more acceptable what should Gary O'Neill change his middle name to ?

A real drummer. Saw Squeeze bsack in the day, not with Jules unfortunately, but have seen The Rythum and Blues orchestra a few times. I remember Ken Bruce interviewing Jules and mentioning that Gilson had drummed with hin “ since God was a boy”
