If Fumble
are supposed to be the leading exponents of the rock and roll revival,
someone doesn't know that holders of such titles are supposed to cling
to authenticy like crepe soles to suede uppers - or else Fumble don't
like the mantle thrust upon them.
Their concert at Bristol University last Saturday shows them to be
far more interested in developing and adapting a style than reissuing
it to a later generation. Of course the mainstream of their music
remains jiveable, but the rock and roll standards don't come over
as pure unadulterated songs any more preserved intact in a timeless
glacier of nostalgia.
Fumble know what the music of today is just as well as they interpret
that of yesterday. Naturally they use the old material, interspersed
with some of their own, but what they take from it is not its past
aura and its appeal for those who lived themselves in the Fifties,
but its basic simplicity, its directness, and its universal Saturday
night quality.
An indication of the way Fumbe do move forward is the fact that they've
recently acquired a lead guitarist, who plays solo breaks, a little
slide, and keeps a couple of pedals for other effects, and truly adds
an extra something go the golden oldies. But don't get the wrong impression
about Fumble - they haven't come up to date so much that they'll rediscover
flower power in a couple of years - they're too well rooted for that.
No. I leave you with Des Henly's accolade for the steaming students
as a sign that they keep their feet on the ground - "the best
way to tell if an audience is having a good time is by the smell.
You lot have got to be enjoying yourselves 'cause you smell awful."
