Jason Sawford

Keyboards

Jason became an original founding member of the band in 1988. Prior to joining the band he studied for a science degree in Australia and later went on to study for a music degree, leaving half way through to join the Aussie Floyd.

Programming the keyboards to get the authentic Floyd sounds is an on-going part of Jason’s role in the band. He uses a complex set-up of four keyboards, sound units, samplers and digital desk, which involves months of preparation ahead of major tours.

After playing in the band for over 22 years, Jason has many stories of funny, strange and amazing things that have happened on the road. Playing “Comfortably Numb” alongside Rick Wright at Dave Gilmour’s birthday party comes high up on Jason’s list of career highlights.
