I remember the day he passed away......I was having a quiet drink in my local, there were a few of us there all just flying solo minding our own business.........some random dude picked up a guitar and started playing this and the whole bar joined in singing...such a beautiful and memorable moment
I was so sad to hear of his passing. I met him once thru a musician mate during the 5 years I lived in Auckland and also saw him a few times after that going into the bottle store next to the Crown in Pt Chev....talented bloke, but I guess he overdid the partying. 😞
I was at so many Hello Sailor concerts late 80s. I pushed for our musicians way back then. They were so good! We went to th dudes , hello sailor, Sharon oneil etc etc I loved thier music and loved they were home grown. Sharon oneil faded away. Why? She had amazing songs . In that era all of our amazing artists should be front and centre with crowded house. One time ( in band camp) lol, sorry, couldn't resist, but one time I was at the blue hotel at Methven , my ski group knew this was the placet to be for good home grown bands. .. a ski village accomodation below mt cook and hello sailor played in the bar and they were staying in the pub rooms same as us. That's how home grown they were. rooms.I wasn't going to show them I was star strucķ.... I did the Maori wave when we left next day and they obviously had a gig next night. We chilled with them in the lounge
And...Graham Brazier, the main lead singer...OMG what a sexy man!They all were, in their own way, but Graham was an incredibly charismatic frontman, singer, songwriter. I lived in Mairangi Bay all my high school years after emigrating from England to NZ in 1970 with my Parents. I saw Hello Sailor a few times, they were AMAZING. One of their gigs, at the Poenamo Hotel, as I was dancing a mere 5 metres away form the stage I saw Graham sort of keeping an eye on me. In their break, I was standing just off to stage left, Graham sauntered up to me (the guy didn't just walk, lol)....looked at me in the eyes holding up his cigarette & said "Got a light? I was sooo taken aback, & intimidated so I just froze. I was 17 going on about 13 then, very naive. Graham waited a moment, holding my gaze, then as I froze he just flicked his head to one side, scoffed & tutted then walked off. I'm 65 now, he was only about 4 or 5 years older than me then, I found out years later, but they all seemed so much older & streetwise. That was one of my life regrets, not speaking with him at that moment... as trivial as it may seem. It was like one of those "sliding doors" moments, whereby if I had made a different decision in that moment, something may have developed further from that introduction. A friendship, a mere kiss, a musical alliance (I became a singer too, later on). I left Auckland for Sydney a couple of years later, & into 2010 or so I started googling Hello Sailor via the web. I came upon a lengthy text of interview Graham had done late 90s with an Auckland journalist, where he spoke of his family background, literature, his poetry, his political views & more. My heart went out to him! turns out his Parents were from an English town very close to where I was born, & his values, beliefs & tastes were so very aligned with mine. I could totally relate to the man. Years later, I read that he died of a massive heart attack, after getting out of his hospital bed & walking thru the ward. RIP GRAHAM! You were incredibly important as an artist. I hope we meet up in the next life.
Just heard the news, I lived with Dave for a short time in Auckland he was just a terrific solid man. I am very sad to hear this , my love goes out to Donna and their son.
Utterly amazing fabulous. Now I know my roots. I got jailed for dope. Met his old needle mate who met me years later as he buried his mum, & he took me to see Graham live. Graham opened with 16 tons he sang with nothing but his bass player to accompany him. Amazing. AWESOME 👌
Just finished reading Dave McArtney's autobiography "Gutter Black'...fabulous read. Highly recommended. RIP mate. PS at Jordan Luck's 40th (a smallish do at his gaff), me and DM together played and sang 'Why Does Love do this to me' to the invitees...happy times.
@@Shadzan yes first Dave died of cancer then Graham had a heart attack - we are fortunate this band Hello Sailor existed and gave us the music was a big part of my life as a teenager in the 70s and 80s
+James Rothery .. I agree NZ has produced a lot of awesome excellent bands and solo artists ... the 70's bands, wow they were all hot property across the ditch too
dieing here...woohoo can feel the new year already lol. loving it...rock on "hello sailor" wink wink lol...so much talent and good to see the track still being celebrated in kiwiana styles!
Oh yes my grannie used to work in the kitchen at the Mon ,my uncle Billy and I used to stay overnight in the staff quarters just across the road!!GOOD MEMORIES!!!!!!!
I remember being a good boy going to Pt. Chev Baptist Church. This drummer from my school lived over the road and didn't GAF about practising drums regardless of what the church was doing. Ricky Ball was his name. The Zarks, Larry's Rebels, great times. The Baptists thought dancing was sinful. The Anglicans had dances in their halls. The Catholics are in this song.
What was their song that started with these chords - F major to E minor to C to A 7th ....? - - -It was a really great melodic song - - ! - - Hail - Hail - HELLO SAILOR - I met them in 1979 in Los Angeles - I believe it was at the Whiskey - - Hollywood Joe

Dammit, I've looked everywhere. Anyone have bass tabs for this?
is that sax guy british? He sounds it..
loretta west is the greatest fictional character of all time
Hick town mate. Meaning; small, unknown, weird. I'd hardly call Christchurch a 'hick town' :)
Choice
;-( RIP Dave, Kiwi As!
Now Graham Brazier has gone too...must be getting old...sad.
His vocals sound better than the studio version.
I've never met ANYONE who pronounces "Fish and Chips" aas "Fush and Chups" or any of the other "Alternate variations".
