Martin Chambers Biography

Martin Chambers is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on September 4, 1951 in Hereford, England, United Kingdom.

Chambers’ first tenure with the group lasted from mid-1978 until the mid- 1980s. Coping with the death of bandmates Honeyman-Scott and Farndon proved difficult, and his consequent lack of enthusiasm resulted in his departure from the group during the Get Close sessions. According to Hynde, “I felt his playing had deteriorated. I think he was still very traumatized by [the loss of] Pete and Jimmy.” (Uncut, 1999) Martin concurred, admitting “I wasn’t really into it to be honest.”

Prior to joining the as yet unnamed Pretenders, Chambers played with James Honeyman-Scott in Cheeks, a band led by former Mott the Hoople keyboardist Verden Allen. At the time Chambers joined the yet unnamed band in 1978, he was working as a driving instructor in Tufnell Park, London where he had got a job with the British School of Motoring “because it came with a car so I could get about” and because of that he found where Jim and Pete were living and then replaced Jerry Mackleduff on drums (Uncut, 1999). At Chambers’s first rehearsal with the group, Hynde recalled: “We plugged in and started playing “Precious”, and I remember clearly, I had to turn around and face the wall, I was laughing so hard, because as soon as Martin started playing with us, I knew this was it. We had the band.” (Uncut, 1999). Martin also recalled the rehearsal “We knew it straight away. We just locked in.” (Rhino Entertainment Company, 2006).
