“A lot of bands were bigger than us, but few can claim to have sucha diverse catalogue of music… I know it’s all been worthwhile”: Gryphon’s Dave Oberlé looks back

Gryphon.

As a founder member of Gryphon, percussionist and vocalist Dave Oberlé was responsible for helping to bring quirkiness and curiosity to the band’s musical output. Inspired by medieval and renaissance music, jazz, rock and folk, he’s remained a constant within the band alongside Brian Gulland. He’s also guested on albums by Steve Howe, Wire and Gandalf’s Fist. In 2020 he looked back on a life that even led to him working on a metal magazine.
