Martin Francis Lamble (28 August 1949, in St Johns Wood, northwest London–12 May 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 attending their first gig and convincing them that he could do a better job than their current drummer, Shaun Frater. The eldest of three brothers, Martin was educated at Priestmead primary school, Kenton, and later at UCS, Hampstead. He played on the bands first three albums, but shortly after recording Unhalfbricking on 12 May 1969, Fairports van crashed on the M1 motorway on the way home from a gig at Mothers, a club in Birmingham. Lamble was killed outright in this accident at the age of 19. He also played on Al Stewarts album Love Chronicles, released in September 1969.
