Biography

Dave Wintour was born in Lydney, Gloucestershire, in the Forest of Dean, the son of Edith (nee Phipps), a school secretary, and Jack Wintour, a miner, and later a market gardener. He grew up in the Forest with his sister, Julie, attending Bream infant and junior school and Lydney grammar school. As a young man he got a job in a music shop in Gloucester and joined a band, the Chas Kingsley Combo. In 1986 Dave met Joan Stafford; they married soon afterwards, their daughter Clemmie was born, and they settled back in the Forest of Dean. When Dave "retired" from the Wurzels in 2003, the family moved to Donegal, Ireland. Dave died of cancer at the age of 77 on July 12th, 2022, in Drumnacoss, Kilraine.
