What were the circumstances of him leaving Squeeze? He was by far their best drummer and gave them their unique sound.

[@andrewgallop9634]

[@spikewebb8783]

[@sockington1]

Gilson's voice, not justt his accent, is identical to Alan Ford

[@goldbanv]

Can you try and get Pete Thomas Elvis Costello's drummer amongst other things.

[@spikewebb8783]

+goldbanv Yeah good idea - maybe early next year when we've finished the current batch

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Interesting...didn't he play for Squeeze, as well?
