David Gilmour
Nick Mason
Rick Wright
Roger Waters
Syd Barrett

Born March 6, 1946

Has 7 children....Sara, Clare, Alice and Matthew
by Ginger, Joe and Gabriel by Polly, and Charlie
who is Polly's son by a first marriage.

In contrast to Roger, Dave was reared by
permissive and easygoing parents. At 13, he was
given a Spanish guitar by a neighbor and so the
journey began. Dave's greatest musical asset is
his sense of feel and timing, according to one
former member of Jokers Wild, and to some present
day fans, we would have to say that his talents
reach beyond that to include a marriage of heart
to guitar and tender concern for humanity.

When Dave was a young teenager, his father's
profession drew him overseas, to the U.S., leaving
Dave to independently fend for himself....playing
U.S. military bases with Jokers Wild, and working
odd jobs, including his famous stint as a male
model. All of this helped to instill in Dave, his
underlying grit and a single-minded determination
to succeed on his own terms...that was to
resurface during the Floydian 'wars' much
later....and it was to carry him through in the
future, to the ringing of a Division Bell and
beyond.

Dave enjoys flying, among other interests, and his
collection consists of vintage aircraft that he
has shown, and flown, at various airshows. His
first love, however, is still his music.
