Romany Gilmour Wikipedia
Sadly there is no Romany Gilmour Wikipedia entry which is often a decent source for information like early life history, projects she has been involved in, musical groups she might have played in etc. She is very much a private person who does not seek the limelight, she is studying at the University of Cambridge not sure what she is studying, probably something creative you would think. Her dad, David Gilmour, mentioned that she has been persuaded to perform with her father for one or two nights on the Luck and Strange tour at the Royal Albert Hall. She is not on all the tour because this would interfere with her studies.
