Martin Lamble

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Lamble (1949–1969) was the drummer for British electric folk band Fairport Convention from just after their formation in 1967 until his death in the Fairport Convention van crash in 1969.

He joined the band after viewing the band's first gig and convincing them that he could do a better job than their current drummer Shaun Frater.

He played on the band's first three albums, but shortly after recording the album Unhalfbricking on 12 May 1969, Fairport's van crashed on the M1 motorway on the way home from a gig in Birmingham. Lamble was killed at the age of just 19.
