Gilson Lavis

Gilson Lavis (born David Leslie Gilson Lavis, 27 June 1951, Bedford, England) was the drummer for Squeeze from 1976 until 1992. More recently, he has been drumming for Jools Holland's Rhythm & Blues Orchestra [cite web|url=http://www.joolsholland.com/orches.htm|title=The Rhythm & Blues Orchestra|publisher=JoolsHolland.com] .

Before joining Squeeze, he had already built up an amount of experience, having toured with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Dolly Parton.
