Post Description

Hammond Gamble:

Hammond Gamble was born, the son on 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.

Street Talk

In 1974, he formed the first version of Street Talk, out front on lead guitar and vocals. It was perfect timing. Within a year, the band was fully professional and riding the first crest of what would be an extraordinary time for Kiwi rock music.

This was back in the days before radio or television gave a hoot for homegrown original rock music - but the fans surely did, famously packing out venues like Auckland's Windsor Castle and Gluepot to catch showstopping performances by Gamble and his band, who expanded from an initial trio to a five-piece.
