ReplyDeleteFumble were an English rock and roll revival group, that formed in 1967 and disbanded in 1982.
They had specialised in covering rock and roll classics. Although they were never particularly successful, the band did achieve some recognition appearing at some festivals and on the television programme, Oh Boy!.
In 1971 they changed their name to Fumble and, in September 1972, released their first album, Fumble, on the EMI-Sovereign record label.
In February and March 1973 they supported David Bowie on his US leg of the Ziggy Stardust Tour. According to the NME, Bowie had been attracted by the cover of their first album and offered them the support slot on the tour.
About Fumble, Bowie had been quoted saying that he "adored them" and that they were very unpretentious about revamping the whole area. Five years later in 1978, their keyboardist Sean Mayes was recruited by Bowie to join his band for the Isolar II Tour.
