Gilson Lavis

Lavis with [[Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra]] in 2006 David Leslie Gilson Lavis ( , born 27 June 1951) is an English drummer and portrait artist. He gained fame as the drummer with band Squeeze in the 1970s and 1980s. Lavis was later the drummer for Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, with former Squeeze bandmate Jools Holland, before retiring from drumming towards the end of 2024.

Before joining Squeeze, he had already built up a substantial amount of experience, having toured with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Dolly Parton. He was working in a brickyard when he noticed the advertisement in ''Melody Maker'' for Squeeze.

Lavis and Holland both appeared (albeit uncredited) as members of "The Nice Twelve" in the 1994 partially-improvised comedy film ''There's No Business...'', starring Raw Sex (Simon Brint and Rowland Rivron) and The Oblivion Boys.

Lavis is also a portrait artist having had several exhibitions in London and the home counties. He has painted numerous musicians including Lily Allen, Paloma Faith, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Lulu and Smokey Robinson. Provided by Wikipedia Read More
