Gaye Advert (born Gaye Black, 29 August 1956, Bideford, Devon, England[1]) is an English punk rock musician, who played bass guitar in the band, The Adverts, in the late 1970s. She was one of the first female rock stars of the punk rock movement.

Advert was well-known to many of the players in the early punk scene in England. She has been pictured with the likes of Lemmy, Paul Cook, Joey Ramone and Captain Sensible.[2]

After the demise of The Adverts in 1980, Advert stopped playing the bass guitar and disappeared from the British punk scene. Today, Advert lives with the former singer of The Adverts, T. V. Smith, in Paddington in the Westminster district of London; Smith and Advert grew up in Bideford, Devon. She is an activist for animal rights, and has been known to show up at some of Smith's gigs, as he is now performing as a solo artist.[2]
