David Jon Gilmour was born on 6 March 1946 in Cambridge England, His father Douglas Gilmour was a senior lecturer in zoology at the University of Cambridge, and his mother Sylvia trained as a teacher and later worked as a film editor for the BBC. At the time of Gilmour's birth, they lived in Trumpington Cambridgeshire, In 1956 after several relocations, they moved to nearby Grantchester Meadows. Gilmour's parents encouraged him to pursue his interest in music, and in 1954 he bought his first single Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock. His enthusiasm was stirred the following year by Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, and later Bye Bye Love by the Everly Brothers piqued his interest in the guitar. He borrowed a guitar from a neighbour, but never gave it back. Soon afterward Gilmour started teaching himself to play using a book and record set by Pete Seeger. At age 11 Gilmour began attending Perse School on Hills Road Cambridge, which he did not enjoy. There he met the future Pink Floyd members Syd Barrett and Roger Waters, who attended Cambridgeshire High School for Boys also situated on Hills Road. In 1967 Pink Floyd composed of Gilmour's Cambridge schoolmates Barrett and Waters with Nick Mason and Richard Wright released their debut studio album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. That May Gilmour briefly returned to London in search of new equipment, During his stay he watched Pink Floyd record See Emily Play and was shocked to find that Barrett, who was beginning to suffer mental health problems, did not seem to recognise him. In December 1967 after Gilmour had returned to England, Mason invited him to join Pink Floyd to cover for the increasingly erratic Barrett. Gilmour accepted they initially intended to continue with Barrett as a non performing songwriter. One of the band's business partners Peter Jenner said the plan was to have Gilmour cover for Barrett's eccentricities. By March 1968 working with Barrett had become too difficult and he agreed to leave the band, Mason said later After Syd, Dave was the difference between light and dark, He was absolutely into form and shape and he introduced that into the wilder numbers we'd created, We became far less difficult to enjoy I think. In 1970 Gilmour attended the Isle of Wight Festival and assisted in the live mix of Jimi Hendrix's performance.
