Templates and citation requests[edit]

This article is riddled with unverified claims and assertions. In fact the whole article is a complete unverified claim and assertion that reads as a web fanzine, forum or blog: See Wikipedia:Neutral Point of View and Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest.

The only reference link was in the introductory sentence. It led to a home page of a music blog and made no mention of the subject; unacceptable for Wikipedia. I have removed this, and the Reference section, as this was the only link in the article.

If the article can't be improved with verification, I suggest that unreferenced 'quotes' and conjecture are removed, leaving only what appears to be 'facts' and disinterested information. Wikifying by removing all eroneous waffle and promotion, and tightening-up sentence construction, would rightly return this article to a stub; this is what is left:

Bruce Gilbert (born Bruce Clifford Gilbert 18 May 1946, Watford, Hertfordshire) is an English musician, and one of the founding members of the punk band Wire.

Gilbert studied art, and became involved in music in the late 1960s. Although not formally trained as a guitarist, he joined the band Wire, which released three albums between 1976 and 1979: Pink Flag, Chairs Missing, and 154. Wire temporarily disbanded in 1980, whereupon Gilbert formed Dome, a band that performed in art galleries with the frequent collaboration of artist Russell Mills. During the mid-1990s, he became a DJ at London techno-clubs under the name DJ Beekeeper, and released his first solo album, Ab Ovo, and the 12-inch single Ovo Mix, in 1996.

Gilbert’s commissioned music for dance performance was included in his albums This Way, Shivering Man, and Music for Fruit.
