I got involved with my Dad Martin Gamble’s band years ago. He was in a two piece and the other guy couldn’t perform with him one night, so they were looking for another singer. I was training to be a pilot with Aer Rianta in Dublin at the time and I gave it up to go on the road with my Dad for a couple of years. I was also in a Westlife tribute act for a while in England, I was the Mark Feehily of the group. I came back to Ireland and saw Jimmy Buckley performing and my Dad said that could be me. From there, I put my own band together the following year. That was 2005.

Gay Ole Opry

Why queer country music? Because sometimes you love a culture that doesn’t love you back. And when everyone came to the first Gay Ole Opry in April of 2011 in all their country finery, we knew we weren’t alone. We do it because we love the music and want to build a community to support queer country musicians.
