Gyp Mills
Gyp Mills (also known as Gypsy Dave) (born David John Mills, 19 July 1946, in Peckham Rye, South East London) is a sculptor and songwriter. He was first in the public eye as the companion to the singer-songwriter, Donovan. He was also a well-known sculptor with studios in Greece and Thailand.
==Early years==
From London Mills' family moved to Hertfordshire. In his early days in Hertfordshire he became friends with many art students including Dave Richards, Julian McAllister and Donovan. In 1963 a pivotal journey to St. Ives, Cornwall with Donovan was to become the stuff of legend.〔(Donovan | interviews | musicOMH.com )〕〔(Donovan Discs - Links )〕 He lost touch with Donovan and moved around the UK including Manchester and Nottingham. In late 1964 Donovan had been signed up to a record label and asked Mills to accompany him on his first tour with his other friends Mac MacLeod and John Lock. Donovan wrote "To Try for the Sun" and "Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness)" about his time with Mills. Mills was tour manager for Donovan for many years, and appeared alongside Donovan in the TV film, ''A Boy Called Donovan''. In 1968 they both journeyed to be with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and The Beatles at Rishikesh, India. Mills wrote a few songs which appeared on Donovan's album, ''The Hurdy Gurdy Man''. The uncredited tracks "A Sunny Day" and "The River Song" according to BMI records were collaborations with Donovan, but the song "Tangier" was written solely by Mills under its original title of "In Tangier Down a Windy Street".〔(Donovan )〕 Altogether he has 20 songs registered at BMI.com〔(BMI.com )〕 under his real name of David J. Mills.
