Pink Floyd Wado

Post by Gary »

Hello,

As its quiet here, I thought I'd post this pic of David Gilmour wearing a jacket with a Wado badge on it :)

A very eagle eyed Wado friend of mine spotted it whist watching the recent BBC documentary about Pink Floyd.

She managed to get this screen shot of it from the BBC I player. It was only for a split second.

I'm not an expert on Floyd, but just looking at the picture (and the amount of hair Gilmour has) I'd say this was in the early 70's??

Anyone got info on whether Gilmour (or any other recording artists of that time) trained in Wado?

Gary
PS. Sorry to the FB friends of mine that have already seen this.

Hi Gary

I'm a big Floyd and Gilmour fan. Have been for 36 years. Never heard or read of Gilmour doing Wado. But great photo! Ticks all the boxes

I know Dave.

Thinking about it, if there was any musician you'd have wanted to be Wado-ka it would be him.

Not Pink Floyd but as some people in Wado I know have trained with this sword instructor I thought I would post here.

David Lee Roth and Sueyoshi Akeshi.
