"Richard Gill’s memoir was entitled Give Me Excess of It (2012).
The famous quote from Duke Orsino of Illyria in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it ... ) described Gill’s attitude to life – never give up, keep going, enjoy every second, make a difference; don’t die wondering.
Above all Gill, the original Australian ‘citizen of music’, was devoted to anything and everything about music and musicians from the trivial to the sublime. He was a teacher's teacher and a musician’s musician." Kim Williams, 1st November, 2018. SMH
