Gutted to learn Gilson Lavis has left the material world. Squeeze has been such a formative influence & inspiration on me since I was a teenager, and it was a privilege to have seen him play with them live so many times (and with Jools Holland solo, where I took this). An incredible drummer. RIP 🙏🥁

Some news stops you in your tracks. Unbelievably sad to hear the Squeeze legend, Gilson Lavis has died. For fans, Gilson will forever be the heartbeat of the band. A giant of a drummer in one of the greatest ever British groups. #RIP #GilsonLavis

Great choices - great musician. Tragedy his entire catalogue is unavailable. Some great tracks on Noah’s Ark Trap and From the Devil to a Stranger too / without even bringing in Bandoggs! Thanks for posting.
