Hammond Gamble

From wikepedia...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues_in_New_Zealand

Quote:
Hammond Gamble is a singer and guitarist. He achieved fame in the late 1970s fronting one of the biggest bands on the New Zealand rock circuit at the time, Street Talk, and later the Hammond Gamble Band. He recorded two albums with Street Talk and three under his own name. Probably his best and most widely known recording is[opinion] the live 1995 album Plugged in and Blue.[citation needed] Gamble is also a songwriter. Joe Cocker recorded his song "If You’ve Got Love, Give Me Some", and Gamble composed rock classics such as "Leaving the Country" (1978), "Should I be Good or Should I be Evil" (1981) and "Midnight" (1983). In 1992 and 1993 he had a number-one hit with "You Make the Whole World Smile". Gamble has won a number of New Zealand awards, including Rock Performer of the Year, Album of the Year, APRA Silver Scroll and Film Soundtrack of the Year.

Bio

http://www.amplifier.co.nz/artist/22937 ... tml?full=1

Quote:
Hammond Gamble was born, the son of a New Zealander, in Lancashire, moving with his family to New Zealand and Whangarei as a 12-year-old in the early '60s. Soon after, he took up the guitar, played with various local bands and developed a passion for the blues that would flavour his soon-to-be-distinctive vocal and guitar styles.

These days, plays the occasional show with an electric band, but most of his live work is solo acoustic. He's working on an album of new songs, but in the meantime, Recollection is a powerful reminder of the undiminished talent of one of our rock music greats.


------------------
Music from the local scene in Auckland.. back in the day... I just had a bit of a struggle to remember this guy's name - Hammond Gamble - though I remember him on TV and radio back then.

I coincidentally "ran into him" several times in real life... just in same places I was :cool

I will, Rumpole... thanks for the introduction!
( Red Nose is a catchy tune ;) )

Quite a diversity in his music .. Blues to Rock. I really like him (voice and guitar playing).
"Midnight" could pass as Country.

I have two hours to check him out then I'll be busy :)

I see he moved to NZ as a child... just like me :)

His singing and song writing reminds me a little of a fave Welsh singer.. John Cale.. but I recall Hammond Gamble as a great blues guitar player as well.


John Cale sings: I keep a close watch
