Gavin Peter Webb
22nd June 1946 - 16th April 2024
It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved bassist and founding member of ARIA Hall of Fame inducted band The Masters Apprentices, Gavin Webb. After being in remission for a few years, Gavin passed away from a 6 year battle with cancer in the Royal Adelaide Hospital on Wednesday afternoon 16th April 2024.
Gavin is survived by his son Ben and partner Sharon, Gavin’s grandchildren Lucy, Noah and Matthew, nephews Darren and Jarrad, his brother Darrel (d. 2021) and Jeanette Webb.
Even though Gavin was softly spoken, what few words he did say, he would always make count. Gavin’s band dossier from 1966 says his personal ambition is to “be a good musician”, a humble dream he would go on to transcend. Gavin leaves behind an incredible musical legacy which will live forever in Australia’s music history.
"Gavin entered our lives 60 years ago. He joined our band as a bassist and from that moment became a member of our family; our brother. We will greatly miss our Gavin and treasure the life long bond we will share forever - from Mustangs to Masters.
Our love eternally ‘Spider’."
Mick Bower, Brian Vaughton and Rick Morrison - The Masters Apprentices
With love, thoughts and prayers from fellow Masters and team - Craig Holden, Bill Harrod, Dan Matejcic, Jasmin Watkins & Victor Marshall
