"Accident Prone"
 Fumble
have come to the conclusion that they must be the unluckiest group
in rock'n'roll today! It seems to have a lot to do with drummer
Barry Pike being so accident prone...
There was the time when they were on tour in Denmark.
"It was just one of those trips," explained Barry. "We
were staying in this hotel and the elevators came up and down outside
the building. I wanted to go downstairs one morning and I noticed
this bunch of kids playing around with the lift, but they ran off
when I came along. I was still looking at them, wondering what they'd
been up to, when I suddenly realised. The lift door opened and there
was nothing there!
"Copenhagen was spread out in front of me and I was hanging
on to this doorhandle!"
But that wasn't all. Later, when Barry had calmed down, he slipped
on a wet floor an just missed hitting his head on a stone step,
only to trap his foot under a radiator!
"Then he fried his hand!" pianist Sean Mayes told us.
"He was frying eggs on a gas stove that we'd brought up to
the hotel room, when he upset boiling fat on to his hand!"
"I was leaping around!" recalled Barry. "Anyway,
Sean got out some TCP and put it in a saucer, and I bathed my hand
in that. Then we realised that there was only on egg left, so Mario,
our bass player, offered to fry it for me. When it was cooked he
accidentally plonked it straight into my saucer of TC •???aP!"
That is one tour Barry would rather forget. He even hit his head
against a beam while hurrying to get on stage. "I can't quite
remember what happened," he said. "I just heard this enormous
bang and saw a lost of stars! I had to play watching people going
round and round and my head spinning!"
"On top of that, he hit his head on the side of a boat because
he was in the top bunk," said Sean, smiling.
Yes, Fumble have certainly had their share of bad luck. It's a bit
ironic that Mario dreamt up the band's name while he was in hospital,
recovering from a skiing accident!
