Hello Sailor was a New Zealand pop/rock band originally formed in 1975, though its history is long and complicated, with guitarist/vocalists Dave McArtney and Harry Lyon having first played together in the mid 60s. After several lineup changes, the band released its first album Hello Sailor in 1977. The line-up at this time was Graham Brazier on vocals and some guitar, McArtney and Lyon on guitars and vocals, Lisle Kinney on bass, and Ricky Ball on drums.
