My friend Dave Wintour, who has died aged 77 of cancer, was one of the most sought-after bass session performers from the 1960s onwards, playing with a formidable list of artists in the world of rock and popular music.
Many artists benefited from Dave’s deft touch on the bass, including Dusty Springfield, Clifford T Ward, Chicken Shack, Rick Wakeman and Leo Sayer. He played bass on Roger Daltrey’s 1975 solo album Ride a Rock Horse and on the Who’s original 1969 Tommy album.
