Bryan Ferry celebrating a hit single (up to 17 this week) was at Fumble's Marquee gig on Thursday last week. He was giving them an aural once-over with a view to producing them.
Verdict? Ferry gave the nod and will be producing a single for them in the near future. Mick Ronson was once rumoured to have a go - but didn't. Ferry caught the band in a state of exhaustion, but they played brilliantly.
A well known rock fanatic who has expressed displeasure at Fumble's past performances stood on stage with a glazed look. We shall interpret this as admiration.
